Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The best way to write a clear opening is to have a clear idea of what you want to say. Before you begin, ask yourself, What is the single most important message I have for the audience?

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Readers receiving routine replies and positive messages will generally be interested in what you have to say, so use the direct approach. Place your main idea (the positive reply or the good news) in the opening. Use the body to explain all the relevant details, and close cordially, perhaps highlighting a benefit to your reader.
