Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    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 2
    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 3
    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 4
    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 5
    1 / -0
    You have been asked to work on a project in another city. You will have to stay there for three months and are searching for accommodation. 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 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
    Gregory wishes to write a letter to his younger brother, Ronald Perkins, to encourage him to work harder for his exams. Which of the following is a suitable salutation for this letter?
    Solution
    The suitable salutation is Option C. The writer is writing to his sibling and so will always address him with his first name. Here 'Ron' stands for Ronald. Option A is incorrect as siblings do not address each other with their surnames. Options B and D are incorrect as they do not adhere to the format of informal letters.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    You have been asked to work on a project in another city. You will have to stay there for three months and are searching for accommodation. 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 close for the letter?
    Solution
    The appropriate closing is Option A. It is a letter to a friend and 'Cordially' suits for an appropriate complimentary closing here. Option B is incorrect as 'Best regards' is generally used to close personal business letters or semi-formal letters. Options C and D are incorrect as they are used to close formal letters or business letters.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the kind of letter for which the following is appropriate:

    Subject: Acceptance of job offer
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A. Option D is incorrect because a Business letter will have to include an exchange with one particular business if not another or several whereas a formal letter will relate to any official communication between anyone and any corporation. Option B and C are incorrect as they do not adhere to the format of the letter mentioned. We do not mention subject in either of an informal letter or a semi-formal letter.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    You have recently moved out of your parents' house and are living in a different city. You want to write a letter to your parents, asking them for financial support. Where will you write the date in the letter?
    Solution
    The correct position for the date is Option A. In an informal letter the date is written below the writer's address and above the salutation. Options B, C and D are incorrect as they do not adhere to the format of informal letter writing.
