Answer to Question 1

Answer: The close of a report (1) emphasizes the main points of the message, (2) summarizes the benefits to the reader if the message proposes a change or course of action, and (3) brings all the action items together in one place and gives the details about who should do what, when, where, and how.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Important terms used in the report should be defined in the introduction.
Defining terms in the introduction of a report ensures that your audience becomes familiar with the terms you use in your report. Defining the terms later on may lead to confusion or miscommunication.
