Praxis Business-Education-Content-Knowledge-5101 Question # 5 Topic 1 Discussion

Instant messaging (IM) is used for quick, real-time communication, making it suitable when the sender needs an immediate response, such as clarifying a meeting’s date and time. Option A (avoiding a permanent record) is not the primary reason, as IMs can be logged. Option B (multitasking) is possible but not the best justification. Option C (sensitive discussion) would likely require a more secure or formal channel. This question falls under the Communication and Career Development category, focusing on communication tools.
