Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The primary advantage of IM is its ability to mimic an actual conversation in real time. With email, in contrast, responses often take hours and even days to appear. With IM, responses are instantaneous; therefore, communication issues get resolved quickly.
