Task: Write a short note on:

Table
of Contents
is important because it provides an outline of the document, helping readers
navigate through sections easily. It also gives a professional look to reports

Captions help in identifying and describing

Index provides a quick reference to
important terms and topics with page numbers. It saves time for the reader and
makes searching more efficient.
