Question

Based on what you’ve learned in this unit, why would someone use a check instead of cash? It provides a written record of the transaction. Checks are easier to carry. People spend more time thinking about what to buy if they use checks. It allows a person to specialize in one area of work.

Answer 1

It provides a written record of the transaction.

Answer 2

It provides a written record of the transaction. ("Checks are easier to carry." is arguably correct as well)

Both the facts that checks provide written records of the transaction and that checks are easier to carry are valid points. It does not mention checks being safer to carry, which would be the best option and a more relevant point.
