The best way to decide what to include in an introduction is to

A) consult with more experienced report writers.
B) figure out what kinds of information will most help your readers follow and comprehend the report.
C) put in as many standard topics as you can cover in 10 pages or less.
D) do a quick survey of potential readers.
E) skim the report quickly, and list what you remember.


Answer: B
Explanation: B) Many reports require neither a synopsis nor an executive summary. Reports of fewer than 10 pages often omit such a preview or combine it with the letter of transmittal. A report over 20 or 30 pages long may include either a synopsis or an executive summary as a convenience for readers. Which one you provide depends on the traditions of your organization.
