• C. Only adjectives and adverbs
• D. Interjections only

Answer: (A)

Clear report writing relies on using the full range of word classes to name what you’re discussing, describe actions and attributes, link ideas, and show relationships. The parts of speech that matter most for report writing include nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions. Nouns identify people, places, and things. Verbs express actions or states of being. Pronouns help avoid repetition by replacing nouns. Adjectives provide details about attributes and conditions. Adverbs modify verbs and adjectives to convey manner, time, place, or degree. Prepositions establish relationships in time and space, such as “before,” “after,” “in,” or “with.” Conjunctions connect clauses and sentences to create a logical flow. In formal reporting, interjections are generally avoided, and you can’t rely on only nouns and verbs or only adjectives and adverbs, because you’d lose essential detail and coherence. That broader set of word classes best supports precise, cohesive report writing.
