Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: When you use language that conveys respect and avoids an accusing tone, you protect your audience's pride. This kind of communication etiquette is always important, but it demands special care with negative messages. Moreover, you can ease the sense of disappointment by using positive words rather than negative, counterproductive ones.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The indirect approach opens with a buffer then builds up the reasons behind the bad news before presenting the bad news itself.
