The abbreviation "cc:" in a business letter stands for "carbon copy" or "complimentary copy".

This allows readers to locate and verify the information, as well as acknowledge the original creator. Therefore, the statement "Citation is a reference to a source" is true.

On the Office Button, you cannot format a file. The Office Button typically allows users to access various options and functions related to managing and manipulating files, such as opening a file or printing a file.

Formatting a file usually involves changing the appearance or layout of the content within the file, such as adjusting fonts, colors, or page settings. This action is typically performed through other menus or options within the software program being used.

9. 6. If you're including any other documents when mailing a letter, you should include the word Enclosure at the end of the letter.

Explanation

When mailing a letter, if you are including any other documents along with it, it is considered good practice to include the word "Enclosure" at the end of the letter.

By including this word, it ensures that the recipient is aware of the additional materials and can easily identify them when opening the letter. Therefore, the statement is true.

Submit
11. 11. Which of the following formatting option does NOT apply to a business letter?

Explanation
