Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) When you make a recommendation, you establish that a problem or a need exists, and then you show how your solution is effective. The content of your recommendation can include a range of persuasive elements: focusing on benefits, anticipating objections, building credibility, constructing a logical argument, and appealing to the audience's emotion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) People typically want to reciprocate if they receive a gift. The gift can be as small as a compliment or a recommendation of a book to read. Persuasive appeals often include a free gift.
