Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Particularly with important messages, try to plan your work schedule so that you can put your first draft aside for a day or two before you begin the revision process. Start with the big picture, making sure that the document accomplishes your overall goals, before moving to finer points such as readability, clarity, and conciseness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) The scope of the revision task can vary somewhat, depending on the medium and the nature of your message. For informal messages to internal audiences, particularly when using short-message tools such as IM and email, the revision process is often as simple as quickly looking over your message to correct any mistakes before sending or posting it.
