Choose the suitable option to complete the sentence:
The salutation or greeting part of a letter should be at _________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Top left below address
The salutation is the greeting that opens a letter, such as "Dear Sir" or "Dear Ravi". It is written on the left side, near the top of the letter, below the address (and the date) and just above the body of the letter.
Example: The letter began with the salutation "Dear Madam".
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Bottom right — Incorrect. The bottom of the letter is for the closing ("Yours sincerely") and the signature, not the greeting.
Option 3: Bottom left — Incorrect. A greeting cannot come at the end of the letter; it opens it.
Option 4: Top right corner — Incorrect. The top right corner is used in some formats for the sender's address and date, not for the salutation.
