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. The other options either use abbreviations or a different format, which are not typically used in social letters.

- C.
  
  Dear Kim,
Correct Answer
C. 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.

- D.
  
  Option 4
Correct Answer
C. 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.

Rate this question:
6.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

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.

- C.
  
  Sender's (Your) Surname
- D.
  
  A Pet Name
Correct Answer(s)
B. Sender's (Your) Christian
D. A Pet Name

Explanation
In a social letter, it is traditionally expected to include the sender's full name and a pet name in the signature. The full name helps to identify the sender, while the pet name adds a personal touch and creates a friendly tone. Including the sender's Christian name or surname is not a strict requirement in social letters, although it may be included depending on personal preference or cultural norms.

Rate this question:
8.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  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.

Rate this question:
9.

Circular letter is a type of social letter.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. 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.

Rate this question:
10.

A social letter does not begin with a personal or a warm greeting.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
A social letter typically begins with a personal or a warm greeting, such as "Dear [Name]" or "Hello [Name]". This sets a friendly and welcoming tone for the letter and shows that the sender values the relationship with the recipient. Therefore, the statement that a social letter does not begin with a personal or a warm greeting is false.
