The standard components in reports and their corresponding content:
· A. Prefatory Information: These are the initial pages that precede the main body of the report and help introduce it. They include elements like the Title Page, Letter of Transmittal, Table of Contents, List of Figures/Tables, and the I. Executive Summary. The Executive Summary is a crucial prefatory element that provides a brief overview of the report's key points, findings, and recommendations for busy readers.
· B. Introductory Information: This section formally sets the stage for the report, providing background and context to the reader. It typically includes the III. Problem Definition, which explains the issue or question the report aims to address. Other elements like the purpose, scope, and background might also be included here.
· C. Main Research Body: This is the core of the report where the methodology, data, analysis, and findings are presented. The IV. Research Design section, which details the overall strategy, methods, and procedures used for the study, is a key component of the main body. It also includes sections like literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.
· D. Supplementary Information: This section comes after the main body and provides additional details or supporting materials that are relevant but might be too extensive or tangential to include in the main text. It commonly includes appendices, bibliography, and a II. Glossary defining specialized terms or acronyms used in the report.
The correct matches are:
· A - I (Prefatory Information - Executive Summary)
· B - III (Introductory Information - Problem Definition)
· C - IV (Main Research Body - Research Design)
· D - II (Supplementary Information - Glossary)
