Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Many report writers prefer to include an executive summary instead of a synopsis or an abstract. Whereas a synopsis is a prose table of contents that outlines the main points of the report, an executive summary is a fully developed mini version of the report.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The documentation of sources typically occurs in the bibliography section of a report. The introduction, on the other hand, tells the audience about the report, explains why they should be concerned with it, and outlines how the report is organized.
