  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Mr. Kilner and writer Michael Wright joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book, The Fortunate Souls. In the book, it is stated that China sent one hundred twenty boys to America to acquire knowledge about developments that could help modernize their country.
    Solution
    The correct answer is option B. This option mentions the whole idea of the given sentence in minimum number of words which makes the sentence nearly one third of the main sentence. Option A is incorrect as even though it mentions the whole idea but the sentence is longer and does not adhere to the format of summarizing. Options C and D are incorrect as they do not portray the whole idea even though the sentences are smaller.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    You have been offered a position at a company. You plan to write a letter to the company accepting the offer. Which of the following options is the most appropriate subject for the letter?
    Solution
    The correct subject for the given letter is Option B. "Acceptance letter" at a glance sums up the purpose of the letter. Option A is incorrect as it makes a statement which is generally a part of the body of the letter. Option C is incorrect as it does not clearly signify the response, whether the offer is accepted or rejected. Option D is incorrect as 'Thank you for your offer' does not adhere to the format of a formal letter as the purpose is unclear.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    For which kind of letter would the following be most appropriate?

    I have heard many students comment positively about your classes and appreciate your recent articles...
    Solution
    The given sentence is most appropriate for a formal letter.
    Option A: Formal letters are written in a formal language, the English used must be accurate and the formation of sentences are longer and complex. The given sentence praises an tutoring class, possibly by a student. This situation is closest to a formal communication.
    Hence option A is correct.
    Option B: Informal letters are written to friends and relatives. Their tone and style is casual, and the English structure is not of utmost importance. The given line doesn't seem to have been written to a friend. (The tone would be: A lot of people have told me that they are very happy with your classes and your articles. I am so happy to hear that!)
    Hence option B is incorrect.
    Option C: Semi-formal letters are written to people whom you know and respect. For e.g., teachers, mentors, seniors. This line does not sound suitable for any of these people.
    Option D: Business letters are written by an individual to a company or organization, for business and other work-related purposes.
    This line does not relate to business. Hence D is also incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    For which kind of letter would the following be appropriate?

    The workers in your division are very fortunate to have you over them. Best wishes for continued success....
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A as the letter is work related and it is an official conversation. So, the letter here is a formal letter. The other options are incorrect as they do not adhere to the format of the given letter.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Options A,C and D are incorrect because they are used as complimentary close in case informal or letters that are personal in nature.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Sally is a columnist for a leading magazine. She received a letter from a reader suggesting that she write more about global issues. Now she wants to write a response to this letter. Which of the following salutations best suits the purpose? 
    Solution
    Sally has a professional relationship with her reader. So she will write a semi formal letter.
    A semi-formal letter is written to someone whom we know by name and with whom we have a professional or business relationship with, for instance; teacher, accountant, landlord, etc.
    The correct way to address someone in a semi formal letter is 'Dear'.
    Thus option B is the correct answer.
    Options A,C,D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    You are writing a letter to inform all the employees at your company that there will be a routine drug detection test held every month to discourage substance abuse among workers.
    Solution
    The correct subject for the given letter is Option D. The subject of a letter should be precise and should contain the complete idea of the letter in one line. Option B is incorrect, though it also mentions the purpose, because it lacks precision and has too much details which can be provided in the body of the letter. Option A is incorrect as it does not mention the purpose of the letter. Option C is incorrect as it is a statement and a part of the announcement which can be included in the body of the letter.
  • Question 8

    Which of the following would be suitable to use in a letter written by the company to the study for this purpose?

    The correct answer is Option B. This is a formal letter, thus, the language in the letter should be formal and appropriate. Options A and C are incorrect as the language used are semi-formal and informal respectively. Option D is incorrect as the expression does not suit in the given situation.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the appropriate complimentary close for the following:

    You have my authorization to take over the day-to-day affairs....
    Solution
    The correct closing is Option B. The letter looks like an 'authorization letter' which is a formal letter. This is not a request letter or a thank you letter that can be closed with a 'Thank you', so Option A is incorrect.Options C and D do not adhere to the format.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

Options A and C are incorrect as the language is informal and semi-formal respectively. Also, a company generally writes a letter as 'We' and not 'I'. Option D is incorrect as the language here is informal as well which does not suit the letter format.
