Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) You can use visual and grammatical techniques to deemphasize bad news.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) A buffer should be neutral and noncontroversial, but also sincere, genuine, and relevant. A poorly written buffer serves no purpose. The recipient views a poorly written buffer as a ploy and feels extra resentment for being handled. A well-chosen buffer makes the bad news more acceptable.
