Passage: "A good memo is clear, brief and complete. It states its purpose in the first sentence, gives only the information the reader needs, and ends with the action expected and the deadline. Long background explanations, if necessary, belong in an attachment. Writers should also check names, dates and figures carefully, because a single wrong date can cause a missed deadline across a whole office." Why does the passage stress checking names, dates and figures?
Correct answer: D. Because a single wrong date can cause a missed deadline across an office
The last sentence explains that "a single wrong date can cause a missed deadline across a whole office", showing how small errors can have wide effects.
