    Business Block Letters typically have enclosures at the bottom. This is because enclosures are additional documents or materials that are included with the letter, such as brochures, contracts, or reports. Placing the enclosures at the bottom of the letter makes it easier for the recipient to locate them and ensures that they are not overlooked. Additionally, it provides a professional and organized appearance to the letter.

    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because business letters typically follow a standard format, which includes 1 inch margins. This margin size allows for proper formatting and ensures that the content of the letter is neatly presented. It also leaves enough white space around the text, making it easier to read and comprehend. Additionally, the 1 inch margin provides room for any additional notes or annotations that may be added to the letter.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Memos should have headings because headings help to clearly identify the subject or topic of the memo. They provide a brief summary or description of the content that follows, making it easier for recipients to quickly understand the purpose of the memo. Headings also help in organizing and structuring the memo, making it more readable and accessible.

    • Ghosts

    Correct Answer
    A. Enclosure
    Explanation
    In a business block letter, the enclosure notation is placed at the bottom to indicate that additional documents or materials are included with the letter. This allows the recipient to easily identify and locate any attachments that accompany the letter. The enclosure notation typically includes a brief description of the enclosed documents, such as "Enclosure: Invoice #123" or "Enclosure: Resume and Cover Letter."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Business Block Letters should have __ paragraphs.

    • 25

    • 45

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    Business Block Letters should have 3 paragraphs. This is because a business block letter typically consists of three main sections: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. The introduction paragraph introduces the purpose of the letter and provides any necessary background information. The body paragraphs contain the main content and details of the letter, such as the request or explanation. Finally, the conclusion paragraph wraps up the letter and may include a call to action or closing remarks. Therefore, having 3 paragraphs is the standard format for a business block letter.

    Correct Answer
    A. Colon
    Explanation
    In memos, it is common practice to use a colon after each heading. This helps to clearly separate the heading from the content that follows. It also adds a professional and formal tone to the memo. Using a colon also helps to indicate that the heading is a complete thought or title, and the following content provides more details or information related to the heading.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Memos should be in short __________.

    • Essays

    • Words

    • Paragraphs

    • Sentences

    Correct Answer
    A. Paragraphs
    Explanation
    Memos should be in short paragraphs because they are meant to be concise and to the point. Paragraphs allow for organizing information into logical sections, making it easier for the reader to understand the main ideas. Using paragraphs also helps to maintain a professional and organized format, ensuring that the memo is clear and easy to read. Additionally, paragraphs allow for proper spacing and visual separation between different topics or points being discussed in the memo.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    You should indent in business block letters.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given answer is "False" because the statement is asking for the response to be indented in business block letters, which is incorrect. Indenting in business block letters is not the appropriate formatting style for a response.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Memos shouldnt have salutation or closing.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Memos are typically used for internal communication within an organization, and they are meant to be concise and to the point. Unlike formal letters or emails, memos do not require a salutation or closing because they are intended to be direct and efficient. Including unnecessary salutations or closings in a memo can make it appear less professional and may detract from the main message. Therefore, it is true that memos should not have salutations or closings.

    • 1-11

    • 0-10

    Correct Answer
    A. 0-10
    Explanation
    This answer suggests that the given numbers should be spelled out in words. The range of numbers given is from 0 to 10, and the prompt asks for them to be spelled out. Therefore, the correct answer is to write the numbers as "zero" to "ten".

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    All these fonts are expectable besides.

    • Calibri

    • Wingding

    • Times new Roman

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Wingding
    Explanation
    The given question presents a list of fonts and asks which one is not expected. The correct answer is "Wingding." This is because Wingding is a symbol font that consists of various symbols and shapes instead of traditional letters and numbers. It is not typically used for regular text or document formatting, making it the odd one out among the other fonts listed, which are commonly used for text-based content.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    There should be no spacing in Business Block Letters.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Business Block Letters, also known as block style letters, are a specific format for writing professional letters. In this format, all lines of the letter are aligned to the left margin, with no indentation for paragraphs. Additionally, there is no spacing between paragraphs or sections of the letter. This format is commonly used in business communication as it gives a clean and professional appearance to the letter. Therefore, the statement that there should be no spacing in Business Block Letters is true.
