Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Before you dive into someone else's work, recognize the dual responsibility that you have. First, unless you've specifically been asked to rewrite something in your own style, keep in mind that your job is to help the other writer succeed at his or her task, not to impose your writing style. Second, make sure you understand the writer's intent before you begin suggesting or making changes.

Explanation: D) Most professionals are inundated with more reading material than they can ever hope to consume, and they'll appreciate your efforts to make your documents easier to readand easier to skim for the highlights when they don't have time to read in depth.
