    Explanation
    The traditional and most commonly accepted format for writing a date in a social letter is to spell out the month, followed by the day and year. Therefore, "April 19, 2021" is the correct answer.

    Instead of the sender's christian name the writer can end with a title that relates to the relationship of the person being written to.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement is true. Instead of using the sender's christian name, the writer can end the letter with a title that reflects the relationship with the recipient. This is a common practice in formal letter writing, where the writer may use titles such as "Sincerely," "Yours faithfully," or "Best regards," to maintain a professional tone. Using a title instead of the sender's name helps to establish a respectful and appropriate tone in the letter.

    Which salutation is acceptable?

    • Dear Miss James,

    • Dear Kim James

    • Dear Kim,

    Correct Answer
    A. Dear Kim,
    Explanation
    The salutation "Dear Kim" is acceptable because it is a polite and appropriate way to address someone in a formal or professional setting. It does not assume any specific gender or marital status, making it inclusive and respectful. The other options, "Dear Miss James" and "Dear Kim James," may not be suitable as they assume the recipient's marital status or use a formal title that may not be preferred. "Dear Kim" is a simple and straightforward salutation that maintains a professional tone.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the sender of a message or email can indeed end the body paragraphs with a statement to say goodbye. This is a common practice in written communication to politely conclude the message and indicate that the conversation is coming to an end.

  • 7. 

    How many paragraphs with well developed reasons should be Developing Paragraphs of a social letter?

    • 2

    • 5

    • 3

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    In a social letter, it is important to have well-developed paragraphs to effectively convey thoughts and ideas. Having only one paragraph may make the letter seem disorganized and lacking in structure. On the other hand, having too many paragraphs may make the letter seem too fragmented and overwhelming. Therefore, having three paragraphs strikes a balance between providing enough detail and maintaining a coherent flow of information in the letter.

  • 8. 

    Circular letter is a type of social letter.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A circular letter is not a type of social letter. It is a type of business letter that is sent to a large number of people or organizations to inform them about a particular event, announcement, or request. Social letters, on the other hand, are personal letters that are written to friends, family, or acquaintances to maintain social connections and share personal news or information. Therefore, the statement that circular letter is a type of social letter is incorrect.
