Answer to Question 1

Answer: Proofreading reports and proposals is similar to proofing other types of business messages, but reports and proposals often contain elements that other messages lack. This requires paying special attention to visuals to ensure that they are accurate, correctly positioned, and easy to understand.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Sending documents as PDF files is preferable because it reduces the chances of spreading viruses or malware. The PDF format also gives you more control of how the document will be displayed on the audience's computer.
