Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) In addition to limiting the overall scope of your message, limit the number of major supporting points to a half dozen or soand if you can get your idea across with fewer points, all the better. Listing 20 or 30 supporting points might feel as though you're being thorough, but your audience is likely to view such detail as rambling and mind numbing.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) When your audience will be skeptical about or even resistant to your message, you generally want to use the indirect approach: Start with the evidence first and build your case before presenting the main idea. A direct approach starts with main ideas such as recommendations, conclusions or requests.
