We'll be glad to check your answer.
I have completed this lesson but was having some trouble and wanted someone else to check over it before i submitted. After looking through several other students post, it looked as if they were just asking the question - instead of giving their answer and one respond.

After reading Chapter 2, bout identifying your audience, i felt like the best answer was D-secondary audience. I'm really not that confident in this lesson though.
We will sometimes answer one or two multiple choice questions from a person. However, when I saw a lot of your posts and no attempt to answer them, I turned the answer back to you.

I believe you're right that the trainers are a secondary audience.
