Answer to #1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: You may include a synopsis or an executive summary for your reader's convenience when your proposal is long, but these are often less useful in a formal proposal than in a formal report because they may be redundant.

Answer to #2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The close is the section that emphasizes the benefits that readers will gain from your solution if they adhere to it, and it urges readers to act.

Answer to #3

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Instead of having a letter of authorization, a solicited proposal should follow the instructions in the RFP. Some will instruct you to include the entire RFP in your proposal; others may want you to simply identify it by a name and tracking number.

Answer to #4

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: External proposals need to have an extra measure of professionalism to reflect well on the organization for which they are being prepared.

Answer to #5

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Formal proposals contain many of the same components as other formal reports. The difference lies mostly in the text, although a few of the prefatory parts are also different.

Answer to #6

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The close of a proposal is the final opportunity to convince the reader of the action proposed. A proposal is a persuasive document; as long as the close is oriented to the interests of the reader, urging action is an effective approach.
