A
It should be 3 paragraphs long

B
It should be a single paragraph long

C
It should analyze the event/incident in detail

D
It should summarize the entire event

Solution

Option C: The body of a report contains the main content covering the event or incident. Hence it must be in detail, covering all the important points and including its analysis. Hence option C is correct.
Option A and B: The body of the report is not limited to length. What matters is the content and quality. Hence options A and B are wrong.
Option D: Usually, the report's conclusion includes the summary of the report, and not the body. The body contains matter crucial to that event, so how would contain the summary as well?
Hence option D is also wrong.

[passage-header]Read the excerpt given below and answer the question that follows.[/passage-header]I have this fear. It causes my legs to shake. I break out in a cold sweat. I start jabbering to anyone who is nearby. As thoughts of certain death run through my mind, the world appears a precious, treasured place. I imagine my own funeral, then shrink back at the implications of where my thoughts are taking me. My stomach feels strange. My palms are clammy. I am terrified of heights.Of course, its not really a fear of being in a high place. Rather, it is the view of a long way to fall, of rocks far below me and no firm wall between me and the edge. My sense of security is screamingly absent. There are no guardrails, flimsy though I picture them, or other safety devices. I can rely only on my own surefootednessor lack thereof.
