Rohan Gupta is writing to the Station Master, Ambala Cantt Railway Station, about the broken fans in the waiting room. Which of the following should be the first line of the receiver’s address in his letter?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → The Station Master
The receiver’s address in a formal letter begins with the post of the person who will read it. Here that post is “The Station Master”. The name of the station and the city come on the next lines.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Dear Station Master — Incorrect. This is written like a salutation (greeting), not an address. An address does not begin with “Dear”.
Option 3: Ambala Cantt Railway Station — Incorrect. The name of the station is part of the address. It comes on the line after the post.
Option 4: Rohan Gupta, 14 Model Town, Ambala — Incorrect. These are the writer’s own details. The sender’s address is a different part of the letter.
