Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Making requests is a routine part of business. In most cases, your audience will be prepared to comply. Therefore, using the direct approach, open with your main idea, which is a clear statement of your request. Use the body to give details and justify your request, then close by requesting specific action.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) If you have an unusual or complex request, break it down into specific, individual questions so that the reader can address each one separately. This consideration not only shows respect for your audience's time but also gets you a more accurate answer in less time.
