Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Varying sentence length makes writing more lively and unpredictable, keeping readers interested and on their toes. That is why good writers mix in short, long, and medium-sized sentences.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Short simple sentences, short paragraphs, headings, and bullets all qualify as aids to skimming. Sentences that are all the same length make text more difficult, not easier to skim.
