What will be an ideal response?


Ans: Answer would ideally include: Researchers should always use simplicity of language when writing a research report for several reasons. First, it is most appropriate for the type of writing needed for a research report; in other words, a research report is not a novel and does not need “elaborate and flowery” language. Second, it is important to communicate clearly and accurately exactly what happened in the study; with verbose writing, some of those details may be lost. Finally, simplicity of language is recommended by the APA stylistic guide, and is known as “economy of expression.”
