Answer to Question 1

B
The salary you expect from the company does not require being stated in the first paragraph
of an application letter to a company. The application letter should show the connection
between your qualifications and those specified for the available position. It is intended to
highlight your most important qualifications and to persuade the employer to grant you a
personal interview.

Answer to Question 2

A
The main purpose of a cover letter is to highlight your most important qualifications and to
persuade an employer to grant you a personal interview for the job position. The application
letter, often called a cover letter, should show the connection between your qualifications and
those specified for the available position.
