Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Sometimes a negative message contains both good news and bad news. In that case, stating the good news in the opening buffer starts the message on a more favorable note.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Messages using the indirect approach open with a buffer, a neutral, noncontroversial statement that is closely related to the point of the message but doesn't convey the bad news.
