Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Eliminate obvious fillers and any information that is not necessary or helpful to achieve your purpose. When you include extra words and unnecessary information, you waste your time as you compose the message as well as the audience's time as they read or listen to it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Whenever possible, effective business writers choose positive wording to communicate their messages, even in negative situations. Positive wording creates an optimistic, encouraging, and often more informative message.
