Question No: 21 ( Marks: 2 )
Why Proposals are written?

Ans: Proposals:
In a proposal, identify a specific problem and state how you will solve
that problem. Most organizations rely on successful proposal writing
for their continued existence. You will most likely spend a major part
of your professional life writing proposals.
What are the characteristics of a good interviewer?

Ans:
Asking yourself the following questions will help you prepare for
interviews:
What are your respective roles?
What does this person expect from you?
Is it to your advantage to confirm those expectations?
will you be more likely to accomplish your objective by being friendly
and open or by conveying an impression of professional detachment?
If you’re the interviewer, responsibility for planning the session falls
on you. On the simplest level, your job is to schedule the interview and
see that it’s held in a comfortable and convenient location.
Good interviewers are good at collecting information, listening, and

probing, so should develop set of interview questions and decide on
their sequence
What is the problem with a double negative in a sentence?

Answer:
Use only one negative word to express a negative idea. In English, using
two negative words to express one negative idea creates a positive
rather than a negative interpretation.
How do Visual Aids support your arguments?

Answer:
Use your visual aids to maintain and revive audience interest. Visual
aids, especially those involving color and movement, are much better at
getting back the audience’s attention than any words you may have for
them. Keep going, and things usually get better. Things usually get
better, and your audience will silently be wishing you success.
What is Analogy?
Definition
An analogy is a comparison of certain similarities between things
which are otherwise unlike.
Discussion
In education, teachers commonly use analogies to introduce
something new to students. They compare the new material to
something the students already know and understand.
Example
Here is an example of an analogy:
 A Street light is like a star. Both provide light at night, both
are in predictable locations, both are overhead, and both
serve no function in the daytime.
What are the general rules for capitalizing letters?

Answer:
Rules for Capitalizing Multiple-Word Titles and Proper Names
Unless you are following a documentation style that specifies
otherwise, observe the following rules for capitalizing multiple word
titles and proper nouns. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs,
adjectives, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions. Capitalize any
word, regardless of the part of speech, if it is the first or last word of
the title or subtitle or a proper name or if it follows a punctuation
mark indicating a break in the title.
What is coherence and why is it important?

Ans:
Coherence underlies a variety of physical phenomena, such as
interference and diffraction. Coherence is also responsible for many of
the remarkable properties of laser radiation; laser light is coherent,
which is to say that the light waves from a laser are all in phase.
Differentiate between Graphic visual aids and Text visuals.

Ans:
Two types of visual aids are used to supplement speeches and
presentations Text visuals consist of words and help the audience
follow the flow of ideas. Because text visuals are simplified outlines of
your presentation, you can use them to summarize and preview the
message and to signal major shifts in thought.
On the other hand, graphic visual aids illustrate the main points they
help the audience grasp numerical data and other information that
would be hard to follow if presented orally.
Write down the five purposes of using Colons.

Ans:
Colons:
Use colons for the following purposes:
• To introduce and emphasize lists, quotations and explanations and
certain appositional elements (see Layout)
• To express ratios
• To separate numbers signifying different nouns, such as in separating
units of
• Time or elements in a bibliographic citation
• To separate titles from subtitles

What are Proposals?
Answer: In a proposal, identify a specific problem and state how you
will solve that problem. Most organizations rely on successful proposal
writing for their continued existence. You will most likely spend a
major part of your professional life writing proposals
Proposal Structure:
• Front matter
• Body
• Introduction
• Technical approach
• Management requirements
• Work plan
• End matter

What is meant by Organizational Logic?
Answer:
Organizational logic is the single most important issue in writing a
report or article about technology. It is the first thing a person needs
to look for when editing document. The ideas in a report or article
should be interrelated--seamlessly.
They should form a sequence of information that will appear to be
predictable or inevitable to readers. In other words, a topic or an idea
should anticipate topics or ideas that follow it. As I have said before, a
document should have no surprises and no areas of confusion that the
readers have to puzzle out for themselves.
Edgar Allan Poe, referring to the writing of short stories, gave some
advice to writers which we can very well borrow for the writing of
reports and articles about high technology. He said that authors should
include nothing that does not advance the topic toward it inevitable
end. Any thing else is tangent that readers will wander down with the
writer and become lost together.

Asking yourself the following questions will help you prepare for interviews:
What are your respective roles? What does this person expect from you? Is it to
your advantage to confirm those expectations? will you be more likely to
accomplish your objective by being friendly and open or by conveying an impression
of professional detachment? If you’re the interviewer, responsibility for planning
the session falls on you. On the simplest level, your job is to schedule the interview
and see that it’s held in a comfortable and convenient location. Good interviewers
are good at collecting information, listening, and probing, so should develop set of
interview questions and decide on their sequence
Interview w structure
Good interviews have an opening, a body, and a close. The opening establishes
rapport an orients the interviewee to the remainder of the session. You might
begin by introducing yourself, asking a few polite questions, and then explaining the
purpose and ground rules of the interview. At this point, you may want to clear the
use of notes or a tape recorder with the interviewee, especially if the subject is
complex or if you plan to quote the interviewee in a written document t such as a
business report. The questions in the body of the interview reflect the nature of
your relationship with the interview.

Write down the structure of Short Formal Report.
Memo The most common format for short informal reports within an organization.
Memos have four headings: To, From, Date and Subject.
Manuscript For a formal approach, manuscripts range from a few pages to several
hundred pages.
Establishing a Basic Structure:
Choice of a structure involves three decisions:
What to say?
Direct or indirect?
Topical or logical organization ?

How can we make analysis report purposeful?
Analysis Reports: The important thing to remember is that no report format is

perfect. Company documentation standards attempt to resolve the issue by
prescribing a format into which all analysis reports are poured. Report design
should be flexible enough to meet a variety of writer purposes and audience needs.
Title page: A title page should be designed with visual order in mind. It should be
balanced from top to bottom and from left to right. It should provide enough
information for readers to be able to tell what the context of the report is and
what the report is about.
Abstracts: Abstracts are condensation of entire reports, focusing on the main

issues: what was done, what was found out, and its significance. Abstracts are self-
sufficient. The procedure for many companies is to take the abstract from the
analysis report, copy it a number of times, circulate it to readers, and allow
readers to order the full report if they feel like they need the information .
Table of contents: The table of contents provides an outline of analysis reports
for readers who do not wish to read the entire report or flip through it looking for
the section which contains what they are looking for. It should be made up of
headings and subheadings of the report, word-for-word, with the accompanying
page numbers.
List of symbols: This is an optional addition to the front matter of an analysis

report.
Include it if you think the readers will need to have symbols defined. The same
thing applies to the inclusion of a glossary.
Introduction: This is the place for the three-part purpose statement introduction.
It will orient readers to the main issue of the report, to the technical issues or
specifics which are important to the report, and to what the report is intended to
accomplish.
Discussion: The discussion contains an analysis of the technical issues important to

the report. It supports the main issue to the report by providing evidence and
explanations. It should be subdivided into topics, each with a subheading.
Conclusion: This section presents the results of the analysis, the evaluation of
what was presented in the discussion. Sometimes listing the conclusion is a good
way to organize them. It calls attention to the conclusion individually, but still
enables writers to explain them as is necessary.
Recommendations: Recommendations are optional, not all analysis reports have
them. Those reports that do have recommendations, tell the readers what to do
with the information provided in the report.
Appendix: Usually this would include derivations of equations, tables of raw data,
sample equations, and so forth. But the only way to be certain that what is placed
in the appendix belongs there is to assess it within the context of audience needs
Which phases are involved in decision making of a meeting?

Group decision making
Groups usually reach their decision in a predictable pattern.
The process can be viewed as passing through four phases: Orientation phase
Conflict phase Emergence phase Reinforcement phase In the orientation phase,
group members socialize, establish their roles, and agree on their reason for
meeting. In the conflict phase members begin to discuss their positions on the
problem. If group members have been carefully selected to represent a variety of
viewpoints and expertise, disagreements are a natural part of this phase. At the
end of this phase, group members begin to settle on a single solution to the
problem. In the emergence phase members reach a decision. Those who advocated
different solutions put aside their objection, either because they’re convinced that
the majority solution is better or because they recognize that arguing is futile.
Finally, in the reinforcement phase, group feeling is rebuilt and the solution is
summarized. Members receive their assignments for carrying out the group's
decision and make arrangements for the following up on these assignments.

Differentiate between Informal and Analytical Assignments.
Analytical Assignments: Why are we having trouble hiring secretaries? Salaries

are too low. What do we pay our secretaries? What do comparable secretaries pay
their secretaries? How important is pay in influencing secretaries’ job choices?
Why are we having trouble hiring secretaries? • Our location is poor. • The
supply of secretaries is diminishing
Informational Assignments: Studies that emphasize the discovery and reporting
of facts may be factored by sub-topic.
In order of Importance Say you are reviewing five product lines. You might
organize your study in the increasing order of the amount of revenue they
generate.
Sequentially If you are studying a process, present your information step by step
- 1, 2, 3,
Chronology When investigating a chain of events, organize the study according to
what happened in January, what happened in February and so on. Spatially If you
are studying a physical object, study it left to right, top to bottom, inside to
outside.
Geography If the location is important, factor your study geographically.
Categorically If you are asked to review several distinct aspects of a subject, look
at one category at a time, for example sales, profit, or investment.

What are the purposes of using Colons? Give details.
Colons: Use colons for the following purposes:
• To introduce and emphasize lists, quotations and explanations and certain
appositional

Answer:
This is a simple formula aimed at locating the audience on a grade scale which is supposedly
based on their reading abilities. • Select a part of the text which is approximately 100
words long, to the nearest period. Introductions, leads, and conclusions usually exhibit
slightly different communication techniques which will skew the accuracy of this test. •
Count the number of sentences in the selected text. • Determine the average length of
sentences by dividing the number of words in the text by the number of sentences. • Count
the number of words which have three or more syllables. But do not count words which are
capitalized, words which have three syllables because prefixes or suffixes have been
added, or words which are combinations of one- or two-syllable words. • Add the number
for the average sentence length to the number of three-syllable words in the text. •
Multiply this sum by .04. • The result is the Fog Index. If you place it on a scale of 1-20,
you will be able to have the approximate reading level required to understand the text.
What are the Functions and Contents of a Progress Report?

To report your progress on any specific work or project.
To report your progress on all activities whole year and by the end of year.
Answer:
Progress reports are prepared in two types of situations. In the first, you tell your
readers about your progress on one particular project. As a geologist employed by
an engineering consulting firm, Lee must do this. His employer has assigned him to
study the site that a large city would like to use for a civic center and large office
building. The city is worried that the site might not be geologically suited for such
construction. Every two weeks, Lee must submit a progress report to his supervisor
and to the city engineer. Lee’s supervisor uses the progress report to be sure that
Lee is conducting the study in a rapid and technically sound manner. The city
engineer uses the report to see that Lee’s study is proceeding according to the
tight schedule planned for it. She also uses it to look for preliminary indications
about the likely outcome of the study. Other work could be speeded up or halted
as a result of these preliminary findings. In the second type of situation, you
prepare progress reports that tell about your work on all your projects. Many
employers require their workers to report on their activities at regular intervals all
year round, year in and year out. Jacqueline is a person who must write such
progress reports (often called periodic reports). She works in the research division
of a large manufacturer of consumer products, where she manages a department
that is responsible for improving the formulas for the company’s laundry
detergents—making them clean and smell better, making them less expensive to
manufacture, and making them safer for the environment. At any one time,
Jacqueline’s staff is working on between ten and twenty different projects.
How can we overcome common writing problems in business communication?

Answer:
Writer’s Block:
Writer’s block is what we call the experience of getting stuck while writing.
Although the results are the same, there are many sources of writer’s block: lack
of information, lack of a well defined purpose, poor knowledge of the audience, lack
of confidence.
Lack of Information:
If it is the result of poor research, then you will have to stop writing and do more
information gathering. If you find yourself doing this often, you might correctly
guess that you have a problem in defining your communication purpose.
Lack of a Well-Defined Purpose:
A poorly defined purpose of your communication will inevitably make writing more
difficult, and may block it altogether. Sometimes you will experience this as a lack
of information; often you will notice it as paragraphs, sections, or entire reports or
papers that shift topic in the middle. For any case of poorly defined purpose, the
solution is the same. Develop a three-part purpose statement for the
communication, and develop an outline of topics sentences based on the purpose
statements.
Poorly Analyzed Audience:
Audience analysis that is performed poorly or not at all can be the source of
writer’s block. At such times you find yourself staring at the video display screen
wondering who is going to read your report and what on earth they want from it.
Lack of Confidence:
A lack of confidence in your abilities as a writer is a common source of writer’s
block, and it is usually self-fulfilling. If you do not think you can communicate
effectively, you will not be able to practice your systematic approaches of writing
problems is the solution to this problem.
Organizational Problems:
Organizational problems are discovered during the editing phase. Finding and fixing
these problems is what makes editing important. If they are not fixed, readers
experience organization problems as complete breakdowns in communication.
Punctuation Problems:
Accurate punctuation does not ensure accurate communication, but accurate
communication is tremendously enhanced by accurate punctuation. Take the
following punctuation test, without first looking at the correct version which
follows, to see how well you know punctuation. The test focuses on the most
common punctuation problems in technical writing.

question mark is not necessary, just a period. If you were to say, "Would you like to rollerblade together tomorrow?"; without the 'I
am asking' then it becomes a question. The fact that you omitted the period in the last statement could be cited as an error.

Is poorly organized structure basic drawback in writing problem? Do you

agree?
Answer:
Organization is the structural framework for constructing a piece of writing. It is
the logical progression and completeness of ideas in a text. Organization is
important to effective writing because it provides readers with a framework to
help them fulfill their expectations for the text. A well-organized piece of writing
supports readers by making it easy for them to follow, while a poorly organized
piece leads readers through a maze of confusion and confounded expectations.

Most people do even professional actors. A good way to overcome your fears is to
rehearse until you’re thoroughly familiar with your material. Communication
professionals have suggested other tips, which we will now go over: Prepare more
material than necessary. Extra knowledge, combined with a genuine interest in the
topic, will boost your confidence. Think positively about your audience, yourself, and
what you have to say. See yourself as polished and professional, and your audience will
too. Be realistic about stage fright. After all, even experienced speakers admit that
they feel butterflies before the y address an audience. Tell yourself you’re ready. Use
the few minutes while you’re arranging your materials, before you actually begin
speaking, to tell yourself you’re on and you’re ready. Before you begin speaking, take a
few deep breaths. It will help you calm down and improve your delivery. Have your first
sentence memorized. Having your opening on the tip of your tongue helps you get
started, and everything else starts falling into place. If your throat is dry, drink some
water. Tension often causes your mouth to become dry. It is best to have a few sips of
water before you begin.

What is meant by Organizational Logic?
Answer:
Organizational logic is the single most important issue in writing a
report or article about technology. it is the first thing a person needs
to look for when editing document. The ideas in a report or article
should be interrelated--seamlessly. They should form a sequence of
information that will appear to be predictable or inevitable to readers.
In other words, a topic or an idea should anticipate topics or ideas that
follow it. As I have said before, a document should have no surprises
and no areas of confusion that the readers have to puzzle out for
themselves. Edgar Allan Poe, referring to the writing of short stories,
gave some advice to writers which we can very well borrow for the
writing of reports and articles about high technology. He said that
authors should include nothing that does not advance the topic toward
it inevitable end. Any thing else is tangent that readers will wander
down with the writer and become lost together.

Answer:
Asking yourself the following questions will help you prepare for
interviews: What are your respective roles? What does this person
expect from you? Is it to your advantage to confirm those
expectations? will you be more likely to accomplish your objective by
being friendly and open or by conveying an impression of professional
detachment? If you’re the interviewer, responsibility for planning the
session falls on you. On the simplest level, your job is to schedule the
interview and see that it’s held in a comfortable and convenient
location. Good interviewers are good at collecting information, listening,
and probing, so should develop set of interview questions and decide on
their sequence
Interview structure
Good interviews have an opening, a body, and a close. The opening
establishes rapport an orients the interviewee to the remainder of the
session. You might begin by introducing yourself, asking a few polite
questions, and then explaining the purpose and ground rules of the
interview. At this point, you may want to clear the use of notes or a
tape recorder with the interviewee, especially if the subject is
complex or if you plan to quote the interviewee in a written document
such as a business report. The questions in the body of the interview
reflect the nature of your relationship with the interview.

Answer:

to several hundred pages.
Establishing a Basic Structure:
Choice of a structure involves three decisions:
What to say?
Direct or indirect?
Topical or logical organization?

How can we make analysis report purposeful?
Answer:
Analysis Reports: The important thing to remember is that no report
format is perfect.
Company documentation standards attempt to resolve the issue by
prescribing a format into which all analysis reports are poured. Report
design should be flexible enough to meet a variety of writer purposes
and audience needs.
Title page: A title page should be designed with visual order in mind. It
should be balanced from top to bottom and from left to right. It
should provide enough information for readers to be able to tell what
the context of the report is and what the report is about.
Abstracts: Abstracts are condensation of entire reports, focusing on
the main issues: what was done, what was found out, and its
significance. Abstracts are self-sufficient. The procedure for many
companies is to take the abstract from the analysis report, copy it a
number of times, circulate it to readers, and allow readers to order
the full report if they feel like they need the information
. Table of contents:
The table of contents provides an outline of analysis reports for
readers who do not wish to read the entire report or flip through it
looking for the section which contains what they are looking for. It
should be made up of headings and subheadings of the report, word-
for-word, with the accompanying page numbers.
List of symbols: This is an optional addition to the front matter of an
analysis report. Include it if you think the readers will need to have
symbols defined. The same thing applies to the inclusion of a glossary.
Introduction: This is the place for the three-part purpose statement
introduction. It will orient readers to the main issue of the report, to
the technical issues or specifics which are important to the report, and
to what the report is intended to accomplish. Discussion: The
discussion contains an analysis of the technical issues important to the
report. It supports the main issue to the report by providing evidence
and explanations. It should be subdivided into topics, each with a
subheading.
Conclusion: This section presents the results of the analysis, the
evaluation of what was presented in the discussion. Sometimes listing
the conclusion is a good way to organize them. It calls attention to the
conclusion individually, but still enables writers to explain them as is
necessary.
Recommendations:
Recommendations are optional, not all analysis reports have them.
Those reports that do have recommendations, tell the readers what to
do with the information provided in the report.
Appendix: Usually this would include derivations of equations, tables of
raw data, sample equations, and so forth. But the only way to be certain
that what is placed in the appendix belongs there is to assess it within
the context of audience needs

Which phases are involved in decision making of a meeting?
Answer:
Group decision making Groups usually reach their decision in a
predictable pattern. The process can be viewed as passing through four
phases: Orientation phase
Conflict phase
Emergence phase Reinforcement phase In the orientation phase, group
members socialize, establish their roles, and agree on their reason for
meeting. In the conflict phase members begin to discuss their positions
on the problem.
If group members have been carefully selected to represent a variety
of viewpoints and expertise, disagreements are a natural part of this
phase. At the end of this phase, group members begin to settle on a
single solution to the problem. In the emergence phase members reach
a decision. Those who advocated different solutions put aside their
objection, either because they’re convinced that the majority solution
is better or because they recognize that arguing is futile. Finally, in
the reinforcement phase, group feeling is rebuilt and the solution is
summarized. Members receive their assignments for carrying out the
group's decision and make arrangements for the following up on these
assignments.

Differentiate between Informal and Analytical Assignments.
Answer:
Analytical Assignments are written from analysis point of view. This
type of assignments gives a complete and analytical view of assigned
topic or discussion. Key to the analysis is breaking down the idea or
topic into components and showing the relationship between the
subordinate arguments and overall controlling ideas.
The purpose of Informal Assignments is to learn through the process
of consistent and varied forms of writing. These are meant as a way to
explore ideas. Informal writing assignments often include: essays, book
reviews, free writing, journal writing, course evaluations, etc. .

need for proposals and consulting engineers respond to the need.
However, an engineer has to determine that a problem exists, and
therefore, proposes solutions to an organization. In this case, he must
first convince the agency that the problem exists before proposing his
solutions.
Feasibility report: Feasibility Reports studies a situation (for example,
a problem or opportunity) and a plan for doing something about it and
determines whether that plan is "feasible". It determines whether it is
technologically possible and whether it is practical (in terms of current
technology, economics, social needs, and so on). The feasibility report
answers the question "Should we implement Plan X?" by stating "yes,"
"no," but more often "maybe." Not only does it give a recommendation,
it also provides the data and the reasoning behind that
recommendation.

What is Narration?
Answer:
Narration, in literature, is the telling of the story through one or more
viewpoints.
Different viewpoints include:
· First person: uses first person pronouns "I", "me", "myself";
· Third person: uses pronouns "he", "she", "they," "them", etc. without
directly referring to the narrator.
· Third person omniscient means the narrator, or author, can "get in
the heads" of all characters and narrate what is happening at all times
in the story rather than having one first person narrator telling about
only what happens to him or herself.

What is the purpose of using Equations?
Answer:
There are numerous mathematical relationships that have been
established in science, finance and other areas. Examples include the
relationship between force and acceleration, conversion of centimeters
to inches, and determining the payments on a loan with a given interest
rate.
The purpose of Algebra is to make it easy to state the relationship by
using letters to represent entities as a form of shorthand. The
relationship is then called an equation. Algebra then allows you to
substitute values for entities in order to determine the value of other
items. Finally, you can manipulate the equations to solve for the various
items or unknown quantities.
Questions you may have include:

· How is a relationship stated using letters?
· How are values substituted?
· How are equations manipulated?

How common mistakes can be avoided while constructing a Bar
Graph?
Answer:
When constructing a bar graph with negative values, you follow the
steps outlined in the last unit on Constructing Bar Graphs, paying close
attention to the scale of the frequency axis.
Since there are negative values, the scale of this axis will not start at
zero.
What are the various purposes of Abbreviations?
Answer:
The shortening of words and phrases (kilogram to kg, Imperial
Chemical Industries to ICI) and a result of such are shortening (MA
for Master of Arts, sitcom for situation comedy).
For the purpose of taking notes, a student should feel free to create
his own abbreviations, provided he can remember later what the
abbreviation stood for.
Providing summary information abbreviations usually need to be
concise, convenient, and easy to remember, they do not need to be fully
understood to serve their purpose.
People literate in English can work successfully with such formulas as
e.g. and q.v. whether or not they know their full Latin forms exempli
gratia (for the sake of example) and quod vide (which see).
The more familiar and successful the short form, the less need for the
full form, which may in course of time be forgotten.
The full forms of mob (Latin mobile vulgus the fickle crowd) and radar
(radio detection and ranging) have no functional value in the 1990s, and
many are entirely unaware that these words are (or were)
abbreviations.
The members of organizations usually have little difficulty with the
abbreviations they use, because of sheer familiarity, but people who
are not part of the in-group may regard their use as (sometimes
frustrating and provocative) jargon.

How does Editing help to improve a document?
Answer:
To re-structure the leaflets, manuals, standard letters or customer
service letters, to make them concise, clear and effective.
Editing gives documents an indispensable proofreading tool that not
only catches plagiarism, grammar and style mistakes, but also delivers
instructional feedback that serves to make students better writers

How can we overcome common writing problems in business
communication? some of the most basic tips to remember, when
writing, include:
Answer:
• Avoid the use of slang words

• Try not to use abbreviations (unless appropriately defined)
• Steer away from the use of symbols (such as ampersands [&])
• Clichés should be avoided, or at the very least, used with caution
• Brackets are used to play down words or phrases
• Dashes are generally used for emphasis
• Great care should ALWAYS be taken to spell the names of people and
companies correctly
• Numbers should be expressed as words when the number is less than
10 or is used to start a sentence (example: Ten years ago, my brother
and I…). The number 10, or anything greater than 10, should be
expressed as a figure (example: My brother has 13 Matchbox cars.)
• Quotation marks should be placed around any directly quoted speech

or text and around titles of publications.
• Keep sentences short

The above mentioned tips cover the most common mistakes, made when
writing letters, memos and reports.
Question No: 39 ( Marks: 10

Is poorly organized structure basic drawback in writing problem?
Do you agree?
Answer:
Organization is the structural framework for constructing a piece of
writing. It is the logical progression and completeness of ideas in a
text. Organization is important to effective writing because it provides
readers with a framework to help them fulfill their expectations for
the text. A well-organized piece of writing supports readers by making
it easy for them to follow, while a poorly organized piece leads readers
through a maze of confusion and confounded expectations.
