Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) Effective instructions begin with a brief overview. Instructions are divided into numbered or bulleted steps, with only one action per step. If the order of steps is not important, bullets are acceptable. Begin each step with an action verb, using parallel phrasing. If an instruction is conditional, begin the step by identifying the condition. If a step requires explanation, place the explanation after the action.
