Answer 1

Correct answers:
- Documents with a large amount of white space may appear to be insufficient, lacking substance.
- The amount of white space helps readers form their first impression of a document.

Briefly: Too little white space makes a document look cluttered; too much can look insubstantial. White space strongly influences readability and first impressions. Double-spacing is uncommon in standard business documents (it's more common in academic drafts).
