Answer to Question 1

C
Using less traditional fonts such as cursive type fonts and solid capital fonts makes a message
less courteous. To ensure that the message appears courteous, writers should select fonts
that are easy to read. Cursive type fonts and solid capital fonts are more difficult to read than
the more traditional fonts in both upper and lowercase letters.

Answer to Question 2

C
It can be concluded that Fred is editing the document. Editing is the process of checking a
revised draft to make sure it meets the criteria of the six Cs of communication. That is, writers
make sure the document is clear, complete, concise, consistent, correct, and courteous.
