Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Readers find large paragraphs and long blocks of text intimidating, and frequently fail to read an entire paragraph if it seems too long. Since your goal is to be understood, try to keep paragraphs short.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Regardless of the format you choose, the items in a list should be parallel; that is, they should all use the same grammatical pattern. Parallel forms are easier to read and skim. You can create parallelism by repeating the pattern in words, phrases, clauses, or entire sentences.
