Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Research the competition so you know what other proposals your audience is likely to read.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) The general purpose of any proposal is to persuade readers to do something, so your writing approach should be similar to that used for persuasive messages, perhaps including the use of the AIDA model to gain attention, build interest, create desire, and motivate action.
