Michael. Which two statements correctly identify the primary and secondary audience of Rafael's email?

-Suzy is the secondary audience.

-Michael is the secondary audience.

-Rafael is the primary audience.

-Suzy is the primary audience.

-Michael is the primary audience.

Answer 1

-Michael is the secondary audience.

-Suzy is the primary audience.

Step-by-step explanation:

A primary audience is the intended receiver of the message. In other words, we can say that a primary audience is a direct receiver of whatever message is sent by the sender.

Likewise, a secondary audience is one who is not intended to receive the message but may have indirectly got the message through other means.

In the given scenario, the sender is Rafael, and his intended receiver is his manager, Suzy. This makes Suzy the primary audience. And in the act of forwarding the same message to her boss Michael, Suzy makes him the secondary audience.

Thus, the correct answer is Suzy is the primary audience while Michael is the secondary audience.
