Question

what is a periodic report?
a. a report that describes a companys hiring or promotion procedures
b. a report that gives a brief summary of an article on marketing strategies
c. a report about the status and future plans of a construction project
d. a report about a companys achievements and work during the past three months

Explanation:

A periodic report is typically issued at regular intervals (like every three months). It focuses on summarizing work done and achievements over that period.

• Option A describes a policy - related report, not periodic.
• Option B is a summary of an article, not a periodic report.
• Option C is a project - specific status report (could be part of a periodic report but more narrowly focused on a construction project).
• Option D fits the definition of a periodic report as it covers a company’s activities over a defined time period (three months) which is a common periodicity for such reports.

Answer:

D. a report about a company’s achievements and work during the past three months
