What scenario is an example of written communication alone?

1. Telling employees that the company's new fitness center is now open.

2. Email a decision about overtime policy.

3. Verbally informing staff about a new project.

4. Having a meeting to discuss plans.

The correct answer is: Email a decision about overtime policy.

Written communication involves conveying messages through written text, which can include emails, reports, memos, or any format that involves text. In the chosen scenario of emailing a decision about overtime policy, it exemplifies written communication because the information is transmitted through a written format, allowing for clarity, record-keeping, and the ability to share the message with multiple recipients simultaneously. This method also enables the sender to structure the message clearly, ensuring that all necessary information is included and can be referenced later by the recipients. In contrast, the other scenarios involve verbal communication or direct interaction, where spoken words are the primary method of conveying information rather than written text.
