Answer: C. It is not specific.

Explanation: a business message is used within a business setting for internal or external communication. For a business message to be fit for use, it has to be accurate, clear and specific. The complexity of the message should be suited to the audience, with the purpose of the writing clearly stated.  

Here, Hugo’s sentence is not specific, it does not specify how much the profits have really increased. "The increase in profit is 10% greater than last year's profit" is a better sentence.

Based on the Judicial Branch which court case stands out to you the most and why?
egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Based on the Judicial Branch the court case that stands out to me the most is Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.

For me, this is one of the most important cases in the history of the United States.

The case was decided on May 17, 1954. The Supreme Court decided that state laws in the US public school system that kept racial segregation were unconstitutional.

This was a major advancement in the country regarding the shameful subject of racism. After the US Supreme Court decision, racial segregation in public schools of America ended, at least in theory and by judicial mandate.

Dima020 [189]

A is the correct answer.

A Democratic President is likely to appoint, well, Democrats!

A modern Republican held Senate might have problems with that.
