Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) In some cases, the party receiving the proposal is aware of the problem. For example, a business with obvious roof damage knows that the roof needs repair. In other cases, the party receiving the proposal may not be aware of its problem. In that case, the company submitting the proposal needs to first identify the problem (e.g., your roof has clear signs of structural damage that you may not see) and then convince owner of the building that it has the right solution to the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The yardstick approach is useful when you need to use a number of criteria to evaluate one or more possible solutions. It is also tailor-made for situations in which the audience has provided a list of criteria the solution must meet. One example would be a bid on a building project for the government. (Answers will vary.)

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms.

This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
