If all the data in a report are correct but their sources are not cited, what is the biggest communication weakness?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The report’s credibility may be reduced
Sources allow readers to check where data came from and judge whether the evidence supports the claims. Even accurate figures may appear less trustworthy when readers cannot verify them. Therefore, credibility is the main weakness. Eye contact and gestures belong to oral presentation, and the report’s voice is not the issue described.
