Answer to #1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Your goals are (1) to gain credibility (for yourself and your request) and (2) to make your readers believe that helping you will indeed help solve a significant problem.

Answer to #2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Open with an attention-getting device, and show readers you understand their concerns. Use the interest and desire sections of your message to demonstrate that you have good reason for making such a request and to cover what you know about the situation.

Answer to #3

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Maintaining a positive and confident tone is one of the keys to a good persuasive claim letter. The other key is to master the facts and particulars of the case and present them clearly to your audience. The easier it is for your audience to understand the nature of your problem, the more likely your problem is to be resolved successfully.

Answer to #4

Answer: B
Explanation: B) The AIDA approach is ideal for the indirect approach, but it also works well with the direct approach. With the direct approach, the main idea is simply given up front and used as the focus of the attention stage in the AIDA process.

Answer to #5

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Both logical and emotional appeals are being used. The emotional part of the message refers to freedom and comfort. The logical part of the message refers to the 20 savings.
