Question

Given is the layout of a formal letter. Fill in the numbered blank [2] from the options given.

• A. Sender's name
• B. Date (of dispatch)
• C. Receiver's address
• D. Sender's address

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

According to the format of a formal letter, the date of dispatch of the letter is written on the top left-hand corner, after the sender's address. Therefore option A is the correct answer.

Sender's name is either mentioned in the body of the letter or at the end of it. Hence option B is incorrect.

The letter starts with the sender's address, making option C incorrect as well.

The date is followed by the receiver's address, so option D is also an incorrect answer.
