Select the most suitable option from the given alternatives to write the Subject for a Letter of Enquiry to M/s ABC Publishers to ask for the range of books available for sale.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → To ask for a detailed brochure of books.
A letter of enquiry asks for information; its subject line states that purpose briefly. The writer wants to know the range of books M/s ABC Publishers has for sale, and a publisher's brochure (a booklet giving details of its products) is the usual way to get it. So the subject is a request for a detailed brochure of books.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: To share details of M/s ABC Publishers. — Incorrect. The writer is asking the publishers for information, not sharing details about them.
Option 3: To sell the books available for sale. — Incorrect. The writer is a buyer making an enquiry; selling is the publisher's business.
Option 4: To purchase the available range of books. — Incorrect. This is the subject of an order letter; an enquiry comes before any decision to buy.
