  • 2. 

    How should you always begin a letter?

    • With the person's name

    • With an interesting hook

    • With a greeting

    • With your signature

    Correct Answer
    A. With a greeting
    Explanation
    You should always begin a letter with a greeting. This is a polite and customary way to start a letter and shows respect towards the recipient. It sets the tone for the communication and establishes a friendly and professional atmosphere. By addressing the person with a greeting, you acknowledge their presence and initiate the conversation in a courteous manner.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    How is the greeting formatted?

    • Their name

    • "Dear" with their name

    • "Dear" with their name and a comma

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. "Dear" with their name and a comma
    Explanation
    The greeting is formatted as "Dear" with their name and a comma. This format is commonly used in formal or professional communication to address the recipient with a sense of politeness and respect. The inclusion of the comma after the recipient's name helps to separate the greeting from the rest of the message and adds a pause for clarity.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is NOT included in a heading?

    • Your address

    • The date

    • Both A & B

    • Your name

    Correct Answer
    A. Your name
    Explanation
    In a heading, typically your name, address, and the date are included. However, your name is not included in a heading as it is usually placed at the beginning or end of a document, separate from the heading itself. The heading usually contains information such as the title or subject of the document, but not personal details like your name.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A friendly letter

    • Must be long

    • Must be formal

    • Can be informal

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Can be informal
    Explanation
    A friendly letter can be informal because it is a type of personal communication where the writer is usually addressing someone they have a close relationship with. In an informal letter, the writer can use a casual tone, include personal anecdotes or jokes, and use less formal language. This allows the writer to express their thoughts and feelings in a relaxed and friendly manner, making the letter more engaging and relatable to the recipient.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A friendly letter must have

    • Formal words

    • Formal speech

    • Official stamp

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. None of these
    Explanation
    A friendly letter does not require formal words, formal speech, or an official stamp. It is a casual and informal form of communication between friends or acquaintances. The purpose of a friendly letter is to express warmth, affection, and personal thoughts, without the need for formality or official documentation. Therefore, none of the given options are necessary for a friendly letter.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How many lines should you skip between parts?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1 because skipping one line between parts helps to create clear visual separation and improve readability. It allows the reader to easily distinguish between different sections or paragraphs, making the content more organized and easier to follow.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What closes up the friendly letter?

    • Closing

    • Signature

    • Body

    • Goodbye

    Correct Answer
    A. Signature
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Signature" because in a friendly letter, the signature is what closes up the letter. It is the writer's name or personal mark that is placed at the end of the letter to indicate who the letter is from. The signature provides a sense of closure and finality to the letter, signaling that the communication is complete.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Is it ever acceptable to not put your address?

    • Sometimes

    • Never

    • Always

    • It depends on your friend.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sometimes
    Explanation
    The question asks whether it is acceptable to not put your address. The answer "Sometimes" suggests that there are certain situations where it may be acceptable to not provide your address, while in other situations it may be necessary. This answer implies that the acceptability of not putting your address depends on the specific circumstances or context in which the address is being requested.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is the optional part at the end of a letter?

    • Signature

    • "Love"

    • P.S.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. P.S.
    Explanation
    The optional part at the end of a letter is the "P.S." This stands for "postscript" and is used to add an additional thought or message after the main body of the letter has been written. It is often used to highlight something that was forgotten or to emphasize a particular point. The other options, such as "Signature" and "Love," are not typically considered optional parts of a letter, but rather essential components.
