Answer: C

Explanation: When it comes to conveying facts in a report from an interview, the report will look nicer if you put them all in sequential order. Referring to answer choice A, saying “Emma was born and her parents got married” doesn’t really make much sense. When you’re doing an interview, you should gather all of the info you have been told in the interview. Take notes during the interview so you can look back at them later, and then when you’re writing the report, put all of the info you gathered in sequential order. Don’t put any opinions, lots of people advise against letting your opinions show in professional writing unless you’re writing a review of something, then that’s where you can allow your opinions to show.
