• True

• False

Answer explanation

The solution to the question is option number 2, which is "False". The purpose of writing on the job is not only to show the writer's knowledge of the topic but also to communicate effectively with the intended audience, convey important information, persuade or influence others, and achieve specific goals or objectives. Writing on the job can take many forms, such as emails, reports, memos, proposals, instructions, and presentations, and each type of writing requires different skills, strategies, and techniques. Therefore, while demonstrating expertise in a subject matter is important, it is not the only purpose of writing on the job.
