Anjali is writing a letter to her friend in Shimla. She has written her address and the date. Which part of the letter should she write next?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → The salutation
A letter to a friend is an informal letter. It begins with the sender’s address and the date. The salutation (greeting) comes next. After it, the body of the letter begins.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: The receiver’s address — Incorrect. An informal letter has no receiver’s address. It is written only in a formal letter.
Option 2: The complimentary close — Incorrect. The complimentary close ends the letter. It comes after the body.
Option 3: The body of the letter — Incorrect. The body comes after the salutation, not straight after the date.
