Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Your communication style involves the choices you make to express yourself: the words you select, the manner in which you use those words in a sentences, and way you build paragraphs from individual sentences. Your style creates a tone, or overall impression in your messages. Climate, dialect, and medium do not refer to the overall impression of your message.
