Question

Imagine you work for an accounting firm. A large client, Widgets-R-Us, has

received a letter from the IRS saying it will be audited. Your boss wants you to
find all the e-mail communication from Widgets-R-Us over the past year. How
would you begin looking in your inbox?
A. Alphabetize the inbox and search under Wfor Widgets-R-Us
B. Carefully read every e-mail in the inbox
C. Organize the e-mails by date and only look at the ones dated from
this year
D. Just start looking through the inbox from the most recent e-mail to
the least recent e-mail

Answer 1

Answer: A. Alphabetize the inbox and search under Wfor Widgets-R-Us

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to begin the search is to narrow it down as much as possible and this is what option A does. In alphabetically arranging the inbox, the communications from specific addresses would show up as an alphabetically ordered list.

One can then go find the address they are looking for and find all the correspondence with that email address. The other options are much too tedious and will take more time.
