Question

You have been studying abroad for three years and are planning to go home to your country for the vacations. You wish to write a letter to your parents, informing them about your plans. Which line would best fit the context of the letter?

• A. I am pleased to inform you both that...
• B. It is an honor to announce that...
• C. I am really happy to tell you both that...
• D. I am sorry to say that....

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

I am really happy to tell you both that...

The correct answer is Option B. It is letter to the parents, so it is an informal letter and the language used here will be personal. 'I am really happy to tell you both that...' signifies the happiness and excitement experienced by the writer. Options A and C are incorrect as the language used is too formal for writing to parents. Option D does not suit the context and thus is incorrect.
