Question

What is the most important part of a business letter?

A.) type of font and format
B.) The opening and closing paragraph
C.) The word choice and correct spelling
D.) The use of correct grammar and sentence structure

Answer 1

Jeez, I'd have picked B. If I see one word spelled wrong in a document, I lose all faith in everything about it.
A is completely meaningless. C is actually pretty darn important when it comes to business. D is important, but most of us kind of suck at that anyhow ;)

Answer 2

D.) The use of correct grammar and sentence structure

Explanation: The four options mentioned above are important, however, the most important is option D) the correct grammar and sentence structure. Your grammar makes an impression of your image, good or bad. If you are writing a bussines letter you surely want to avoid misunderstandings, reduce risks, increase productivity and be effective. If you have grammar or punctuation mistakes, it will be difficult to achieve these goals. That is the reason why, from the options given, D is the most suitable.
