Answer to Question 1

 Possible Response Points:
 Convert communicators are people who persuade others by arguing against their own previously-held attitudes and behaviors.
 In general, they tend to be very persuasive.
 Part of the reason is thatby exposing their former views or behaviorsthey appear to be acting in opposition to their self-interest (and thus to be more credible). Moreover, they are often similar to audience members which makes them likeable (and thus more persuasive). Furthermore, they often show a sense of mastery (because they were able to overcome certain past behaviors or views) which again makes them persuasive.

Answer to Question 2

B
