Answer 1

1) Answer is:- Ms. Mc Nealy approved the trip after careful considerations.

2) The question "Will the letter do its specific job and also build goodwill?" means - whether the letter will fulfill it's intended purpose or not. Every letter has a reason, a purpose of being written. The task of the writer is to convey information to the reader and incite feedback. The effectiveness of the letter is judged by the response it receives. A positive or favorable letter indicates that the purpose of the letter is achieved. On the other hand, if the letter is received negatively or not understood by the reader, the entire process of letter writing is a loss/failure.
