Which feature most clearly distinguishes a blog from an e-mail when used for business communication?
A blog is published for a broad audience who can read and often comment on it, whereas an e-mail is sent to specific chosen recipients. This difference in audience and openness is the key distinction; the other statements about images, privacy or connectivity are incorrect.
- AA blog is published for a wide audience who may read and comment, while an e-mail is addressed to specific recipientsCorrect
- BA blog can never contain images, while an e-mail always does
- CA blog is always private, while an e-mail is always public
- DA blog needs no internet connection, while an e-mail does
Explanation
A blog posts content openly for many readers, often with comments, whereas an e-mail goes to chosen recipients. The other options are false: blogs can include images, are generally public, and need internet access.
