Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) In some cases, you will be asking people to do you a favor, something that they have no obligation to do. This second kind of request often requires more explanation and persuasion.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) The manager should chose a face-to-face conversation because doing so might encourage the employee to respond more positively. Most people would most likely find it more difficult to refuse the request in a face-to-face conversation, or over the phone, than if they had received the same message by email.
