Question

13. If you're not told otherwise, who is your audience when you are writing? A. The teacher B. The reader C. Yourself D. Your friends

Answer 1

A.    The teacher.

If you are not told otherwise in the writing prompt or directions for any academic writing you are doing, it is always safe to assume your audience is your teacher.  As such, writing should always be as formal/professional as possible with the understanding, too, that your audience should never be considered “all knowing” because this tends to lead to vague writing in need of elaboration.  However, when in doubt, please keep in mind that if there is ever any question with regard to who your audience should be, always ask your teacher/professor.

Answer 2

Answer: I think the right answer is C. yourself.

Explanation: When you write you have to try to be interesting and appealing to your audience and I think you have to read your composition many times before finishing the writing task.
