Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Business writing should be conversational rather than academic. Academic writing often sounds too formal for everyday communication. Conversational writing style uses relatively short sentences and familiar words. When read aloud, the text should sound like the writer is talking with the audience.

Explanation: B) The passive voice may be a good choice in some special circumstances, for example when you do not want to assign blame, or when you want to emphasize a certain word by placing it in the subject of the sentence.
