Question

Marcy is writing an investigative report about purchasing new lab equipment. Here is the flow of information in her report: Marcy starts with an executive summary regarding new lab equipment and follows immediately with evidence to support her recommendation. After establishing the evidence, she discusses the costs and details of the recommended equipment. Which statement best explains the purpose of Marcy's choice to use this approach?

Answer 1

It could be C. That was my second choice after B which was incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry all I can really do is take away an option. I don't think its A because making a recommendation is an expression of an opinion. D doesn't seem right because the writer isn't summarizing their opinion, they are explaining the reasoning for their recommendations and trying to persuade their audience. I apologize if I'm wrong.

Answer 2

She is writing to convince

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Marcy is writing a project proposal she uses this method so as to convince her manager that it will be in the company's best interest if the new lab equipments are purchased.

Noteworthy is the fact that she provides evidence to support her recommendation.
