  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is the most appropriate summary of the following line:
    I regret to inform you that I will be arriving late to the party for your 20th anniversary. 
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C. Summarizing a sentence includes mentioning the main idea of the sentence briefly. Here the writer regrets that he would be late for the 20th anniversary party. The whole idea is summarized in option C. Option B and D are incorrect as they do not give the whole idea of the sentence given. Option A is incorrect as the sentence is not brief enough to be called a summary.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which option appropriately summarizes the following:
    Harry had a long day at work and was very tired by the end of the day. Because of his exhaustion, he became ill the next day.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C. The sentence portrays the correct idea and with the minimum use of words, suiting to the format of summarizing. Options A and B are not making it clear about when Harry fell sick and so they are incorrect. Option D is incorrect as the sentence is too long to suit the format of summary writing.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best summarizes the following:
    In a very happy mood, he read the letter in which it was stated that he had been accepted into the university.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option D because it mentions about the complete idea with the minimum use of words. It suits to the norms of the summary writing. Option A and C also mention the complete idea but the sentences are longer and thus are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because it does not mention the complete idea of the given sentence.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    For which kind of letter would the following line be appropriate?
    I am very upset that you hadn't written in so long...
    Solution
    Formal, semi-formal and business letters are written in a formal language. The diction used must be appropriate, as you're writing the letter to a person of authority, or to someone who is senior to you.
    The given line, "I am very upset that you haven't written in so long" is in a casual, friendly tone. The person is expressing his emotion to the receiver of the letter. This is not acceptable in the case of formal and business letters.
    Hence this line is not appropriate for a formal, semi-formal or a business letter, and options A, C and D are incorrect.
    This line is appropriate for an informal letter, as it is suitable for when you're writing to a close friend or someone whom you're related to. Hence option B is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Hannah had stayed at a friend's house for a week, but she left a briefcase there, which had several important documents in it. In a letter to her friend, Jeremy Simmons, she asks him to send her the briefcase as soon as possible. Which of the following would be a suitable salutation for the letter?
    Solution
    Because the letter is being written to a friend, it will be informal.
    From these options, 'Hi Jeremy' is the only option that is informal. Hence option A is correct.
    The other options are used for formal or business letters. You would not begin a letter that you're writing to your friend using 'sir' and 'Simmons'. 'Simmons' is the surname, which is generally how one is addressed in a formal tone.
    Hence the other options are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Your parents will be celebrating their 30th anniversary next week. You want to plan a big celebration, but you are not sure how to make the occasion very memorable. So, you write a letter to your best friend, Zoe, who is a professional event planner. Which of the following is the most suitable close for this letter?
    Solution
    The correct closing for the letter will be Option C. Zoe being the writer's best friend 'Love' is the appropriate complimentary closing for the letter as it is an informal letter. Options A and D are incorrect as these are used as complimentary closing for formal letters. Option B is incorrect as it is a salutation and not a closing.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

You are writing a letter to your friend, Joan Clarke, asking her if you can stay with her for three months. Which of the following is an appropriate way to start the letter?
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A. A letter to a friend is an informal letter and the language used is personal and the thoughts are expressed in a friendly manner. Option s B and C are incorrect as the language used is very formal and does not suit the situation mentioned here. Option D is incorrect as the statement does not suit the given context.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Read the following line:
    Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that...
    For which kind of letter would this line be appropriate?
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A. Such formal and respectful language is generally a part of the body of a formal letter. The sender is not an individual and 'We' generally stands for a Company. Option B and C are incorrect as informal and semi-formal letters use a more personal and expressive language. Option D is incorrect as an inquiry letter will tend to have a question in it.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Read the following line: 
    I pray that you kindly accept...
    For which kind of letter would this line be appropriate?
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A. Such formal and respectful language is generally a part of the body of a formal letter. Option B and C are incorrect as informal and semi-formal letters use a more personal and expressive language. Option D is incorrect as an inquiry letter will tend to have a question in it.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
