Randy’s decision to omit both the assets and the pending payments is because he wants the company’s financial statement to look good when the creditors assess at the company’s financial records.

Conflicting and confusing instructions are prone to be misunderstood and could create conflicts in the workplace or in the setting that provided these instructions in the first place. As such, these instructions are particularly bad since these do not effectively take into account the varied points of views or perspectives of the reader or the user and therefore render these instructions useless and ineffective in achieving the purpose that ...

When writing my individual project, I used a couple of prewriting strategies in order to get the desired result for my subject. First, I used brainstorming by writing down several of the recommended ideas that I liked. This helped me to determine which one I wanted to use.

I also used the journalists' questions a lot - why is America obese? ...
