Question

Read the passage and answer the question. Passage: Taking minutes is a skill that every personal assistant must master, yet it is rarely taught as a discipline of its own. A good minute-taker does not try to write down every word that is spoken; instead, she listens for decisions, deadlines and the names of the people responsible for each action. The minutes of a meeting are the only official record of what was agreed, so they must be accurate, neutral and complete enough for someone who was absent to understand exactly what happened. A stenographer has a clear advantage here: shorthand lets her capture a speaker's exact words when a decision is worded carefully, and she can later check her notes against the recording. The finished minutes are circulated quickly, while memories are still fresh, and they become the starting point of the next meeting, where each action is reviewed in turn. In this way, minutes turn talk into accountability. Why should minutes be circulated quickly after a meeting, in the passage?

1.
So that the recording can be deleted at once
2.

3.
