Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When reading written reports, people have the ability to skip back and forth if they feel confused or don't require specific information. This is not possible during an oral presentation, where the information is presented linearly and cannot be repeated or referred to in the same way. Therefore, skipping back and forth is a fundamental difference between the two. Option A is incorrect because the appreciation of flexibility does not apply in this context. Option B is also incorrect because confusion can arise in both oral presentations and written reports, and further clarification may be needed in both cases. Finally, option C is not entirely correct because both approaches can be used in both oral presentations and written reports, and a preference for one or the other is subjective.
