Question

The main reason for using memos as interoffice communications is to _______.

a. eliminate the need to format the document
b. save time
c. eliminate the need to worry about tone
d. save paper

Answer 1

The main reason for using memos as interoffice communications is to b. save time.

Memos are brief messages that are sent to many employees within a given establishment. The basic feature of memos is their concise nature. They can be used when the information is urgent and there are many people to be contacted. While writing memos, tone can still be sensed as the sender is passing information.

So, the main reason for using memos is not to save paper nor to eliminate the need to worry about tone. The basic reason is to save time. Option B is thus correct.
