Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Except for simple exchanges, take a moment to plan IM conversations in much the same way you would plan an important oral conversation. A few seconds of planning can help you deliver information in a coherent, complete way that minimizes the number of individual messages required.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) To use IM effectively, keep in mind some important behavioral issues when relying on this medium: the potential for constant interruptions, the ease of accidentally mixing personal and business messages, the risk of being out of the loop (if a hot discussion or an impromptu meeting flares up when you're away from your PC or other IM device), and the frustration of being at the mercy of other people's typing abilities.
