Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) When you are responding positively to a request, sending routine announcements, or sending a positive or goodwill message, you have several goals: to communicate the information or the good news, answer all questions, provide all required details, and leave your reader with a good impression of you and your firm.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Routine messages can be both positive and negative. For example, in a routine message you may need to state that you will not be able to attend a future meeting. This may be unfortunate, but your audience will appreciate your informing them of the situation so they can make alternate plans.
