Question

Choose the most appropriate word for [2].

• A. Application
• B. Request
• C. Application for leave
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C Application for leave

Blank 2 is filled with the subject of the letter. The subject is an appropriate title which gives a brief idea of what the letter is about.
Option A: The word 'application' is vague on its own and does not give much of an idea to the reader, regarding what the letter is It should be mentioned, what the application is for. Hence option A is incorrect as a single word does not perform as a suitable subject here.
Option B: Similarly, 'request' also does not tell the reader what the request is about. Also, the letter is an application: "Ramesh writes the following application" and not a 'request'. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Application for leave'. This title gives an appropriate briefing of the letter. It mentions what the letter (application) is about and the purpose of the application (for leave). Hence C is the most suitable option for the given question.

Thus option C is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.
