Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) After you've defined your main idea and supporting points, you're ready to decide on the sequence you will use to present your information. When you know your audience will be receptive to your message, use the direct approach: Start with the main idea (such as a recommendation, conclusion, or request) and follow that with your supporting evidence. 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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The scope of your message is the range of information you present, the overall length, and the level of detailall of which need to correspond to your main idea. Limit your scope to the minimum amount of information needed to convey your main idea. Look for ways to distill your supporting points so that you have a smaller number with greater impact.
