Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Both include the applicant's contact information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both cover letters and résumés are used to tell the employer about the qualities, skills, experience, and education of job candidates. Despite this, these two documents have some differences. To begin, a cover letter is a document that includes multiple paragraphs and in this, the candidate describes why he/she is suitable for the job. On the other hand, a résumé is divided into multiple sections and acts as a summary of the candidate's qualifications.

Moreover, both documents always include contact information of the applicant such as cellphone number or e-mail because the purpose of both documents is to show how suitable the candidate is for a job and this should ideally lead to the employer contacting the applicant to have an interview or to hire the applicant.
