Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the kind of letter for which the following is appropriate:

With love,
Melanie

A
formal

B
informal

C
semi-formal

D
business

Solution

Option B, 'with love, Melanie', is the correct answer because sign-offs in informal letters tend to have a more conversational tone than those in formal or semi-formal letters. Some common sign-offs for informal letters include Love, Hugs and kisses, and Your friend.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because we do not use 'with love' when we are signing off a formal, semi-formal or a business letter because it is not appropriate to use when we are addressing a person of authority.
Question 2
1 / -0

You wish to invite a few of your friends over for dinner. Which of the following options is the most appropriate close for the letter?

A
Yours faithfully,

B
Yours respectfully,

C
Yours,

D
Dear friends,

Solution

According to the lines, you have to imagine that you're writing a letter to your friends, inviting them for dinner.
So, you need to choose a closing that is appropriate for informal letters.
Options A and B: We use these closings 'yours faithfully' and 'yours respectfully' for formal or semi-formal letters.
We do not end an informal letter with such closings. Hence options A and B are incorrect.
Option D: 'Dear friends' is an opening with which you begin a letter. The question asks for a close. A letter does not end with 'dear friends'. Hence option D is incorrect.
Option C: 'Yours' is the most suitable option, as it's used in informal letters. It's the simplest way to end an informal letter.
Hence option C is correct.

[passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]Both plants and animals of many sorts show remarkable changes in form, structure, growth habits, and even mode of reproduction in becoming adapted to the different climatic environments, types of the food supply, or mode of living. This divergence in response to evolution is commonly expressed by altering the form and function of some part(s) of the organism, the original identification of which is clearly discernible. For example, the creeping foot of the snail is seen in related marine pteropods to be modified into a flapping organ useful for swimming and is changed into prehensile arms that bear suctorial disks in squids and other cephalopods. The limbs of various mammals are modified according to several different modes of life - for swift running (cursorial) as in the horse and antelope, for swinging in trees (arboreal) as in the monkeys, for digging (fossorial) as in the moles and gophers, for flying (volant) as in the bats, for swimming (aquatic) as in the seals, whales and dolphins, and for other adaptations. The structures or organs that show the main change in connection with this adaptive divergence is commonly identified readily as homologous in spite of great alterations. Thus, the finger and wrist bones of a bat and whale, for instance, have virtually nothing in common except that they are definitely equivalent elements of the mammalian limb.
