Question

Janice is preparing a presentation for her co-workers about writing effective business documents. So far, she has a list of four characteristics. Which of the following characteristics should not be on Janice’s list describing effective workplace writing? A. Workplace writing is primarily informative or persuasive. B. Workplace writing is neatly formatted. C. Workplace writing avoids addressing important points and facts directly. D. Workplace writing anticipates and answers readers’ questions.

Answer 1

The correct answer here is the option C.

Workplace writing is used to address the important issues that need to be conveyed to the workforce in clear and concise manner. That is why the writing which avoids the matter and beats around the bush is not a good example of workplace writing and thus should not be on Janice's list.
