Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Evaluate your organization, style, and tone to make sure your content is clear, logical, and reader oriented. Then work to improve the report's readability by varying sentence length, keeping paragraphs short, using lists and bullets, and adding headings and subheadings. Remember that even minor mistakes can affect your credibility.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If you've prepared the document for a single person or small group in your office or the local area, delivering it in person will give you the chance to personally introduce the report and remind readers why they're receiving it. The body explains the complete details of the solution: how the job will be done, how it will be broken into tasks, what method will be used to do it (including the required equipment, material, and personnel), when the work will begin and end, how much the work will cost, and why your company is qualified (for external proposals).
