If an instruction says “Prepare a good report,” what should be added to make it more effective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Clear criteria such as purpose, reliable sources, and a conclusion.
The word “good” is vague because it does not tell the learner what the report should contain or how it will be judged. Stating its purpose, expected structure, reliable sources, evidence, and conclusion makes the task specific and assessable. Decorative titles or colour instructions do not define report quality, so B is correct.
