Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: A synopsis, sometimes called an abstract, is a brief overview (one page or less) of a report's most important points. The phrasing of a synopsis can be informative (presenting the main points in the order in which they appear in the text) if you're using the direct approach or descriptive (simply describing what the report is about, without giving away the ending) if you're using the indirect approach. As an alternative to a synopsis or an abstract, a longer report may include an executive summary, a fully developed mini version of the report, for readers who lack the time or motivation to read the entire document.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: If your company or client expects you to distribute your reports via cloud storage, a web-based content management system, a shared workspace, or some other online location, double-check that you've uploaded the correct file(s) to the correct location. Verify the on-screen display of your reports after you've posted them, making sure graphics, charts, links, and other elements are in place and operational.
