    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    When Emailing a stranger an appropriate greeting would be:

    • Alright mate

    • Hi

    • Dear Sir/Madam

    • Hello

    Correct Answer
    A. Dear Sir/Madam
    Explanation
    The appropriate greeting when emailing a stranger is "Dear Sir/Madam" because it is a polite and formal way to address someone when you do not know their name or gender. It shows respect and professionalism in a business or formal setting. "Alright mate" and "Hi" are too informal and may be seen as unprofessional. "Hello" is a more casual greeting that can be used in some situations, but "Dear Sir/Madam" is the safest and most respectful choice when emailing a stranger.

  • 7. 

    Which two things are important in an Email?

    • Content

    • Comedy

    • Greeting/ Sign off

    • How annoying the email is

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Content
    A. Greeting/ Sign off
    Explanation
    The two important things in an email are content and greeting/sign off. Content refers to the main message or information conveyed in the email, which is crucial for effective communication. Greeting and sign off are important as they set the tone and formality of the email, helping to establish a polite and professional interaction. Comedy and how annoying the email is are not typically considered important factors in an email, as the primary focus should be on clear and concise communication.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    You should never use paragraphs in an email.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using paragraphs in an email is actually recommended as it helps to organize and structure the content, making it easier for the recipient to read and understand. Paragraphs break up the text into smaller, more manageable chunks, allowing for better readability and comprehension. Additionally, paragraphs can help to emphasize key points and separate different ideas or topics within the email. Therefore, the statement that you should never use paragraphs in an email is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    You should read your Email out loud to make sure it makes sense.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reading your email out loud is a recommended practice to ensure that it is coherent and understandable. When we read silently, we may overlook errors or unclear phrasing. By vocalizing the content of the email, we are more likely to identify any mistakes, awkward sentences, or confusing ideas. This allows us to make necessary revisions and improve the overall quality of the email before sending it out.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    You should always check the Email________ before sending.

    Correct Answer
    Address, address
    Explanation
    Before sending an email, it is important to check the email address to ensure that it is correct. This is necessary to avoid any potential errors or miscommunication. By verifying the email address, you can ensure that the message is being sent to the intended recipient and that there are no typos or mistakes in the address.
