Which sentence has the most appropriate register for a formal letter to a university?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. I am writing to enquire about the entry requirements for the master's programme.
- Step 1: A formal letter uses full forms, polite wording and a clear purpose statement. Step 2. The sentence 'I am writing to enquire about the entry requirements for the master's programme' states the purpose politely and neutrally. Answer: I am writing to enquire about the entry requirements for the master's programme. Why not the others: The others are informal, over-familiar or abrupt.
