a) salutation
b) signed name
c) letter body
d) introduction​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is found to be option (a) Salutation.

Explanation:

In either formal or informal letter, we have to mention the subject/receiver's address in a new line after writing the date in the previous line, followed by the salutation for the receiver starting with words like respected, dear, etc. The content of the letter is then written having around 2-3 paragraphs. Then, a complimentary closure is added to end the letter in a respectful and polite manner, followed by the sender's signature and name (along with designation if applicable).

Answer 2

In letter writing format, a title, "Dear Mr Ram" is an example of (A)Salutation.

why do we use these salutations?

• The greetings 'Dear Respected Sir/Madam', 'Respected Sir/Madam' and 'Respected Sir' are extremely normal in Indian English.
• Shippers of letters feel that it is vital for address the beneficiary as 'Regarded Sir/Madam' assuming the individual is respected or stands firm on a significant situation.
• It's an issue of custom - "Dear" toward the start of a letter doesn't recommend commonality yet rather it connotes an honorable gesture via tending to one in a conventional matter befitting their situation overall or comparable to you explicitly.
