Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a report introduction, clear headings, and brief transitional devices can guide readers through the report without the need for a structured coherence plan. These elements can provide a clear organization and flow to the report, making it easier for readers to follow along and understand the information presented. Additionally, they can help to summarize information and provide a roadmap for what is to come, without being overly formal or relying on personal pronouns.
