Which option is most likely to reduce the clarity of a message?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Using unclear pronouns and incomplete references
Pronouns such as “it” or “they” become confusing when the reader cannot identify what or whom they refer to. Incomplete references also leave out needed context. A simple main idea, a clearly stated date, and a relevant example normally make a message easier to understand, so they do not create the stated problem.
