Question

All of the following are reasons one might break a technical message into submessages except: Group of answer choices A) Distinguishing between information that directly addresses the reader and information that is written objectively. B) Distinguishing between information that introduces/contextualizes the message and the message itself.C) Distinguishing between information that relates to the purpose of a message and the background to understand a message. D) Distinguishing between essential information and supplementary content.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

An author may resort to a device called "direct address" when writing a text. This device is used to directly address the reader and make him or her feel included in the text. In addition, authors may convince the audience to share a specific point of view, especially in argumentative texts, when using this resource to express a personal opinion. However, to compensate subjectiveness, effective writing combines direct address with objective information, such as facts, statistics, etc. Both, objective information and direct address should be written within the same paragraph to create a balance between subjectiveness and objectiveness. Thus, option A is not a reason to break a message into sub-messages. Options B, C, and D are in fact, reasons to divide a message because they represent subsections of a text that help the reader understand the different parts of it.
