90 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Riya's letter to her Principal gives the date, then 'Respected Madam', and only then the subject line. Which change puts her letter into the standard order?
Beginner
A Move the date below the salutation
B Put the salutation after the body
C Remove the date from the letter
D Move the subject line above the salutation
Show answer & explanation
Move the subject line above the salutation
The subject sits after the receiver's address and before the salutation, so the reader sees what the letter is about before the greeting.
Which complimentary close suits a formal letter that opens with 'Sir,'?
Beginner
A Yours lovingly,
B Your dear customer,
C Yours faithfully,
D With best wishes to all,
Show answer & explanation
Yours faithfully,
'Sir' or 'Madam' pairs with 'Yours faithfully'; the others belong to informal or improper letters.

C Subject: I am very angry with your careless staff
D Subject: Mixer
Show answer & explanation
Subject: Cracked mixer jar delivered on 3 May (Order No. 4471)
A good subject names the exact problem, the date and the reference number in one line.
