Ina wrote a business letter on behalf of her company to a business partner. the letter’s salutation reads “dear mr. morrison: ". the letter is left-justified, with single line spacing between the paragraphs.

which type of formatting did ina use to write the letter?

a. block formatting with mixed punctuation

b. block formatting with open punctuation

c. modified block formatting with mixed punctuation

d. modified block formatting with open punctuation

Block formatting is a type of letter format used which consists of aligning all the elements of the letter (Date, Letterhead, Salutation etc.) to the left margin of the page.

Modified block formatting is another type of letter format used, which consists of aligning all the elements of the letter to the left margin, except, the date, the sign off and the signature line, which are centered. Another characteristic is that each paragraph is indented 5 spaces.

Mixed punctuation is a style of punctuation that could be considered more "proper" and not as liberal because it requires a colon after the opening salutation and a comma following the complementary close.

Open punctuation is another style of punctuation that is more liberal because the colon and comma can be omitted.

In the text, it is mentioned that the letter is aligned to the left and that the opening salutation has a colon at the end, therefore, the correct answer would be option A: "block formatting with mixed punctuation".

Option B is incorrect because although the letter does have block formatting it does not have open punctuation. Option C and D are incorrect because the  letter does not have modified block formatting.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
