Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Format instructions so readers can easily follow the steps. Begin with an overview, divide instructions into numbered or bulleted lists, and begin each step with an action verb (or a conditional phrase, if the step is necessary only under certain conditions). Use parallel phrasing to ensure the same grammatical form for each item. Position any needed explanation after the action rather than before it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Routine business messages may include procedural information or brief instructions about how to do things. Good instructions allow the audience to understand the task and complete it accurately.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
