Question

Which of the following should be avoided when writing a business proposal?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Using contractions or abbreviations because they are too formal and easily confused, respectively.

Explanation:

This is incorrect because contractions are too informal, rather than too formal. The latter part of the sentence is true - abbreviations can indeed be easily confused.

Contractions should always be avoided when writing a formal text such as a business proposal. Instead of writing I can't, you should always write I cannot instead of its contracted form.
