Which element is described as part of the letter's structure?

• A. Block of text
• B. Salutation
• C. Footnote
• D. Appendix

Answer: (A)

The main part of a letter is its body—the block of text where the message is written in paragraphs. This central section holds the purpose, details, and requests you’re conveying. In letter writing, you also have a greeting at the top (the salutation) and a closing at the end, but those are separate structural elements, not the main content. Footnotes and appendices belong to longer documents or reports, not typical letters, so they don’t describe the letter’s structure. So the block of text best fits as the part that describes the letter’s structure because it represents the core content and organization of the message.
