The memo is addressed to the "Finance Tech Team" from the "IT Director" regarding "Company-Issued Laptops." The opening paragraph states: "we will all be getting new laptops this week."

Evaluate the options against the text

• Option 1 ("to announce new virus protection software...") is incorrect because virus software is not mentioned.
• Option 2 ("to announce that employees will receive an upgraded laptop") directly matches the main announcement: "we will all be getting new laptops this week. The new laptops are faster, have more storage, and feature larger displays."
• Option 3 ("to announce a new storage policy...") is incorrect because the mention of "storage" refers to the physical specifications of the new laptops, not a policy change.

• to announce that employees will receive an upgraded laptop (Correct answer)
• to announce a new storage policy for company laptops
