Answer to #1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The bulk of your persuasive business messages will involve requests for action. In some cases, your request will be anticipated, so the direct approach is fine. In others, you'll need to introduce your intention indirectly, and the AIDA model or a similar approach is ideal for this purpose.

Answer to #2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Give your reader a good reason for granting your claim. Show how the individual or organization is responsible for the problem, and appeal to your reader's sense of fair play, goodwill, or moral responsibility. Explain how you feel about the problem, but don't get carried away and don't make threats. People generally respond most favorably to requests that are calm and reasonable.

Answer to #3

Answer: A
Explanation: A) People generally respond most favorably to requests that are calm and reasonable. Close on a respectful note that reflects how a successful resolution of the situation will repair or maintain a mutually beneficial working relationship.

Answer to #4

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Close with a request for some specific action, and make that course of action as easy to follow as possible to maximize the chances of a positive response.
