You are Shreeya/Santosh, a resident of Ooty, Tamil Nadu. You are concerned about the increasing number of tourists to hill stations and the adverse effects on the lives of the residents due to the garbage spread by them. Write a letter to the editor of the national daily drawing attention to your concern over the situation.

[0.8 mark]

• A. Sender’s address
• B. Sender’s identification card
• C. Sender’s address proof
• D. Editor’s photograph

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sender’s address

The parts that must be included in a letter to an editor are:
Sender's address, Date, Receiver's address, Subject, Salutation, and Body.
So, the letter does not require the identification card or address proof of the sender to be attached. Also, the photograph of the editor is not needed.
