Which Heading is more appropriate for the audience and purpose of this letter?
Using questions for the headings is more effective because the audience will most likely be coming to
this information with questions. Much of the information in the document is about resources that the
CDC provides on STDs, so readers will probably be reading this with questions and need to search for
answers. Using questions as headers will allow the audience to easily and conveniently find the topics
theyre interested in. Using short sentences would be the next best option because they provide a
better sense of what the paragraph is about in comparison with the original headings.
