Which type of message contains the originator and addressee designations in plain language external to the text?

• A. Plain dress
• B. Code Dress
• C. Abbreviated Plain Dress
• D. Plain dress with annotations

Answer: (A)

This item tests how originator and addressee designations are presented in a message. In plain dress, those designations are provided in plain language and placed outside the main body of the text, typically in the header, so who sent the message and who it’s for is immediately clear without reading the content. Other formats would embed the designations inside the text in coded form (code dress), use abbreviated names (abbreviated plain dress), or add annotations alongside the text (plain dress with annotations). Plain dress best fits the description because it keeps the identifying information in clear, external language and separate from the message body.
