In a formal letter, sender's address is written ________ :

The correct answer is Option (2) → above the date

In a formal letter, the parts at the top follow a fixed order: the sender's address comes first, and the date is written directly below it. Then come the receiver's address, the subject line and the salutation. So the sender's address is written above the date.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: below the date — Incorrect. This reverses the order: the date follows the sender's address, not the other way round.

Option 3: above the subject line — Incorrect. The part written directly above the subject line is the receiver's address; the sender's address is at the very top, before the date.

Option 4: not written — Incorrect. The sender's address is a required part of a formal letter, so that the reply can reach the writer.
