Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) When a routine request from someone in an established relationship has been rejected, the audience is bound to be surprised and dismayed. This was one thing that your recipient counted on to be stable and reliable, and now she finds that it is no longer an option. For these reasons, it is wise to tread lightly in this kind of situation and use an indirect approach.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) When providing reasons and additional information, the writer should explain why the news is negative, adjust the detail to fit the situation and the audience and avoid explanations if the reasons are confidential, complicated or irrelevant to the reader.
