Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Content notes provide additional information that was not appropriate for the main body of the text but may be relevant to some readers. For example, when listing the price for a piece of equipment you intend for the company to purchase, you might use a content note to list the prices of alternative equipment that you decided against using.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Both types of notes perform the same function. Endnotes can be less intrusive than footnotes because they appear at the end of the document or section. Footnotes can be helpful if the reader wants instant access to information about the source, without having to flip the page.
