Thank you

Answer 1

The answer is C. "The first syllable of the word it represents"

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is: All of the above.

Explanation:

It is frequent that within certain states there are specific Real State books that include common abbreviations used by this industry to make easier reading advertisements used. These abbreviations do not have a set of rules established but usually are compressed using the first syllable of the word (i.e.: Decorative-dec, Deposit-dep), using the first letter of the complete word (i.e.: HWS- Hot water service, BV- Brick veneer), and ,using letters of the word that may sound like the whole word complete (i.e.: Heater-htr, Laundry-ldry).
