(C) Drinking water - a Menace
(D) Villagers Walk for Water
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) Only
The subject line of a letter to the editor names the problem in a few formal words, so that the editor knows at once what the letter is about.
(A) Water Scarcity - Save Villagers — Suitable.
- It names the problem, water scarcity, and the concern for the people affected, briefly and formally.
(B) Bring drinking water soon here — Not suitable.
- It is an informal command, and "here" tells the reader nothing about where the problem is.
(C) Drinking water - a Menace — Not suitable.
- It calls drinking water itself a menace (a danger), whereas the problem is the lack of it.
(D) Villagers Walk for Water — Not suitable.
- It reads like a news headline about an event and does not name the problem of scarcity on which the letter is based.
