Answer 1

(1) Cover letter

A cover letter is a formal document that is specifically written to prove your eligibility for an available vacancy. So a common CV is not intended for this purpose. A business letter or memo applies to a staff instead of candidates.

(2) Top paragraph

As per the format of a cover letter, the top paragraph needs information about the purpose of writing, mostly about source/reference of your awareness regarding the vacancy. The 'conclusion' is not required in a cover letter. Due to the prescribed format, it is not a correct method to write those details in the 'middle paragraph'.

(3) Under headings

For easiness in readability on a cover letter, a heading about each topic can be used. Other options like title part, title headings and heading points are not matching with the words used here in question.

(4) Using lists and bullets

Correct usage of lists and bullets, helps in quickly identifying the main points on a letter. The question is about lists here. So other options like bullets, structure and tone are either incomplete or incorrect.

(5) CV/resume

A CV/resume is a formal document that provides information about the personal, professional and educational background of a candidate. A cover letter won't have full personal details. Memo and business letters are not intended to use for adding educational details in it.

(6) Body

A body of a letter is the main part that contains the necessary information, such as your eligibility, which designation you are applying for, etc. Title, middle or ending portion of a cover letter is not used for the mentioned purpose in question, as per the correct format.

(7) Label your memo

The question specifically describes the heading structure of a memo. Other options like, 'know the format', 'create your heading' or 'write a concise introduction' does not have any relation with the keyword in question.

(8) Length of a memo

It describes the length of a memo because the concept of 'note' to the supervisor or a colleague is the shortest form of memo writing. Paragraph is not required in notes. Language and template criteria are not important here if it is an unofficial form of writing.

(9) Tone

Here, usage of the term 'courteous' refers to that, it is the tone that is important. Using lists or bullets won't affect it and 'structure' doesn't relate with the term courtesy.

(10) Business memo

A 'Business memo' is a form of letter used by an entity, usually written by the higher authority to lower authorities when there is a need for any official announcements. Options like letterhead, business email and business letter do not match with the concept of a staff promotion announcement within the firm.
