What is a "communique"?

An informal gathering
An official announcement
A type of report
A form of entertainment

The correct answer is: An official announcement

A "communique" refers to an official announcement or statement that is typically released to inform the public or other stakeholders about specific information, decisions, or events. It is often issued by governments, organizations, or military entities to convey important news or updates in a formal manner. The purpose of a communique is to provide clarity and ensure that the communicated message is consistent and authoritative. While the other options present different concepts, they do not align with the definition of a communique. An informal gathering does not match the formal nature of a communique, a type of report is more general and can encompass various formats, and a form of entertainment does not relate to the informational context in which a communique is used. Thus, the correct answer reflects the formal and official role of a communique in communication practices.
