Answer 1

When you are providing sequential steps in a process.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the following: option 3. You should use a numbered list format as a visual aid when you are providing sequential steps in a process. A numbered list format is commonly used in procedural texts, for example an instruction manual which uses this format of visual aid to show the order in which each action must be done. By having a number next to each action the reader gets a quick understanding on what step goes before the other.
