Answer to Question 2

The executive summary provides a background and explains the problem leading to the need for the study. It presents the purpose of the study and identifies the person authorizing it. The methods used to solve the problem are described, but more could be said about the types of secondary sources used. Major sections of the report are mentioned, but the findings are very brief. The conclusions and recommendations should have been included more specifically. The writing style is succinct and appropriate for the purpose.
