Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Maintaining a positive and confident tone is one of the keys to a good persuasive claim letter. The other key is to master the facts and particulars of the case and present them clearly to your audience. The easier it is for your audience to understand the nature of your problem, the more likely your problem is to be resolved successfully.
