Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A linked file in a report is connected to the original file, so any updates made to the original file will also be reflected in the linked file. This means that readers must be online to access the updated version. In contrast, an embedded file is fully contained within the report, so readers do not need to be online to view it. Therefore, the answer is C, linked and embedded. Option A is incorrect because it reverses the order of the two file types. Option B is incorrect because it is a comparison between two different types of files, rather than two types of file connections. Option D is incorrect because it only discusses the different file formats rather than the connection types.
