Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) If you don't hear from your readers within a week or two, you might want to ask politely whether the report arrived. (Some RFPs specify a period of time for responding. In such a case, don't pester the recipient ahead of schedule, or you'll hurt your chances.)

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) PDFs can be safer than word-processing documents, so many people prefer them. PDFs also ensure that your audience will see the document as you designed it.
