Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Persuasionthe attempt to change an audience's attitudes, beliefs, or actions. Because persuasive messages ask audiences to give something of value (money in exchange for a product, for example) or take substantial action (such as changing a corporate policy), they are more challenging to write than routine messages.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The best persuasive messages are closely connected to your audience's desires and interests. Consider these important questions: Who is my audience? What are my audience members' needs? What do I want them to do? How might they resist? Are there alternative positions I need to examine? What does the decision maker consider to be the most important issue? How might the organization's culture influence my strategy?
