Robert has created a visually charged report and uploaded it on the company website. His manager has commended his efforts and asked him to include certain details that would help readers "decode" the visual by explaining what various colors, symbols, or other design choices mean. So Robert needs to include ________.
A) an instruction manual
B) a legend
C) a title
D) a caption

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A legend would provide a key to interpreting the visual elements in the report, making it easier for readers to understand the message that the report is trying to convey. An instruction manual is not necessary if the report is designed to be self-explanatory. A title is important, but it does not help readers decode the visual. Captions provide additional information about specific elements in a report, but they do not provide a key to interpreting the visual as a whole.
