Question

What writing tips should you keep in mind when writing your recommendations? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

B). Your recommendations should always be the result of prior logical analysis.

C). You can combine recommendations and conclusions.

D). You can omit conclusions and move straight to recommendations in short reports.

Explanation:

Recommendations are described as the suggestion or proposal offered at the end of a report after presenting a logical analysis of the issue in order to leave the readers with a takeaway command to be followed. As per the question, the writing tips that should be followed while writing recommendations would include options B, C, and D.

Option B as 'the recommendation must always be the outcome of previous reasoned analysis' that helps the audience to relate it and apply the recommendations proposed by the author. Option C because they('conclusion and recommendation') are often merged to offer a more coherent takeaway command for the readers. Option D, as short reports are too short to be given separate space for including both the 'conclusion and recommendation'. So, the conclusions are often omitted as the recommendations fill in the gap in an effective manner. Thus, options B, C, and D are correct.

Option A is incorrect, as the words 'perhaps' and 'maybe' degrades it's worth and option E because recommendations are the command that is instructed by the author to the audience to be followed by them.
