Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Adopting the you attitude means speaking and writing in terms of the audience's wishes, interests, hopes, and preferences.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Audiences tend to greet incoming messages with a selfish question: What's in this for me? If your target readers or listeners don't think a message applies to them, or if they don't think you are being sensitive to their needs, they won't pay attention. You can improve your audience sensitivity by adopting the you attitude, maintaining good standards of etiquette, emphasizing the positive, and using bias-free language.
