Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": An indirect​ approach, to convince the manager of the validity of your research​ technique, logic, and reasoning.

Explanation:

There are two forms of presenting formal reports. The direct report shows the central idea of the report at first and the supporting ideas at the end. This is more frequently used for business purposes. The indirect report portraits the supporting ideas or evidence at first and comes up with the central idea at the end.

As a new employee presenting a report about customer service issues, it is better to select the indirect approach because by giving the supporting evidence at first, your manager will have the objective ideas clearly stated and is likely to understand why the new employee got to his or her conclusions. Some managers consider reporting the central ideas at first could be a signal of arrogance.
