Answer:

ii) Roundabout expression is not a feature of effective use of language in business communications.

Explanation:

For effective business communications, language must be used in the following ways-

1. Language must be concrete and specific- Concrete language consists of descriptions that evoke tangible images with details that the reader can visualize. Abstract language is imprecise and obscure, and it does not evoke distinct visual images.
2. It must be concise - The ability to express the desired message in as few words as possible is a hallmark of effective writers. In other words, good writers use straightforward and to-the-point language.
3. It must be precise and clear - It is critical to use language that is as precise and clear as possible. The fewer possible interpretations there are for a message, the more precise and clear the language used.

Thus the language must not be roundabout and winded.
