Question

For which kind of letter would the following be appropriate:
We discussed your proposal at our last staff meeting and decided to implement it next month...

• A. formal
• B. informal
• C. semi-formal
• D. business

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A formal
D business

From the given sentence we clearly understand that the letter is from a formal institution where a staff meeting was held that decided on the implementation of a proposal. Hence options A and D are the correct answers. It is both a formal and a business letter as we can understand from the given context.

Options B and C are incorrect because the letter is from a management informing about the implementation of an idea and hence cannot be a semi-formal or informal letter. The given sentence is not in tune with the nature of either an informal or semi-formal letter.
