Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) When you're responding to a job offer that you want to accept, base your acceptance message on the model for positive messages.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Write a follow-up (thank-you) message within two days of the interview, even if you don't think you'll get the job. This is good etiquette, and it gives you the opportunity to emphasize why you are a good choice for the position. You can also respond to anything negative that may have arisen in the interview.
