Question

2. Read the following excerpt from an employee's e-mail to his boss.

Dear Mr. Ellis,

I hope you had a great weekend. You wouldn't believe the craziness that happened in my house. Did you receive my reports on Friday? I wanted to check to be sure the files came through.

Thank you.

How can the writer revise to better suit the audience and purpose?
A. Add "How are you?" at the beginning of the email.
B. End with a joke.
C. Remove this statement: "You wouldn't believe the craziness that happened in
my house."
D.No changes are needed.

Answer 1

Answer: You should do A and C


I hope this helps and have a wonderful day!!

Answer 2

Can you choose multiple ones?

If you can, I would select A and C.

A makes it seem like the author acknowledges that they're writing to a human being.

C makes it more formal, as the statement, "You wouldn't believe the craziness that happened in my house" isn't very appropriate for a letter from an employee to his boss.
