Which message best demonstrates several of the seven Cs of effective communication, such as clarity, completeness, conciseness, concreteness, and courtesy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Please submit a 500-word report with source references in the library by 10 a.m. on Monday.
Option A identifies the action, length, supporting references, place, and exact deadline, so it is concrete and complete while remaining concise. “Please” adds courtesy. Option B is vague about time, C uses uncertain words such as “quickly” and “perhaps,” and D depends on information not repeated in the message, so it is not complete by itself.
