C)Readability indexes measure word length,number of syllables,sentence length,and paragraph length.However,they cannot measure document design,the "you" attitude,clear sentence structure,smooth transitions,and proper word usage.As a general rule,do not assume that a piece of text is readable if it scores well on a readability index - or that it is difficult to read if it does not score well.A good readability index score does not mean it is too simple for business communication,that it is well-written,or that you should increase the length of your sentences,but not your paragraphs.
