Answer to #1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Business writing should be conversational rather than academic. Academic writing often sounds too formal for everyday communication. Conversational writing style uses relatively short sentences and familiar words. When read aloud, the text should sound like the writer is talking with the audience.

Answer to #2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The passive voice may be a good choice in some special circumstances, for example when you do not want to assign blame, or when you want to emphasize a certain word by placing it in the subject of the sentence.

Answer to #3

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Start with the last sentence and read up the page sentence by sentence. This backward approach slows your reading pace and lets you examine the information out of context to help you find typos and missing words.

Answer to #4

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Format errors are inconsistencies in design techniques within a document, such as including both indented and block-style paragraphs, bullets that do not align correctly, and differences in font sizes or styles.

Answer to #5

Answer: D
Explanation: D) If you proofread just once for all errors, you most likely will not find them all. However, if you narrow each proofreading to scan for a particular problem, you will be more successful in finding your mistakes.

Answer to #6

Answer: E
Explanation: E) The track changes feature allows you to make corrections, suggest content to add and delete, and insert comments. The comment boxes include the reviewers' initials so you know who is making the comment.
