5. The letter _______ for me.

Explanation

The correct answer is "was written". In this sentence, the subject "letter" is the receiver of the action "written". The past tense form "was" is used to indicate that the action of writing occurred in the past. Therefore, "was written" is the appropriate verb form to complete the sentence.

Submit

Additionally, "still working" is the correct verb phrase to indicate that the candidate is currently employed at the company.

Explanation
