Which sentence best follows the principle of clarity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Please submit the application form by Friday.
Option D is clear because it identifies the exact task—the application form must be submitted—and gives a definite deadline—by Friday. The other sentences leave important details uncertain: “later” does not specify a time, “important things” does not identify the items, and “as instructed” depends on information that may not be available in the message. Clear communication reduces guesswork.
