Choose the correct option from the given alternatives to write the subject for a 'Letter of Inquiry to the Manager, XYZ English coaching classes.' Seek information for the courses offered by them.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Inquiry regarding courses offered
The subject line of a formal letter states the purpose of the letter briefly and politely. A letter that seeks information about courses is a letter of inquiry, so "Inquiry regarding courses offered" states that purpose.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: To search the details of course — Incorrect. It is clumsy ("search the details", "course" without an article) and does not name the letter as an inquiry.
Option 3: To apply for a suitable position — Incorrect. This is the subject of a job application, not of an inquiry about courses.
Option 4: To provoke the institution to share detailed information — Incorrect. To provoke is to make someone angry or to stir up a reaction on purpose; it is impolite and out of place in a formal letter.
Example: His rude remarks were meant to provoke a quarrel.
