Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Clearly identify the opportunity you are applying for or expressing interest in. Show that you understand the company and its marketplace. Don't just repeat information from your rsum; use the conversational tone of the letter to convey additional professional and personal qualities and your reasons for wanting this particular job.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) The opening paragraph of your application letter must accomplish two essential tasks: (1) explaining why you are writing and (2) giving the recipient a reason to keep reading by demonstrating that you have some immediate potential for meeting the company's needs.
