Answer to Question 1

A
It can be concluded that the letters sent to Jack and Fred were form letters without variables.
The entire body of form letters without variables remains the same; the date, inside address,
salutation, and reference initials are the only changes.

Answer to Question 2

B
The bodies of the letters will be different in the two form letters. Form letters with variables are
used when similar, but not identical, responses are needed. In addition to the date, inside
address, and salutation, other details are changed throughout the body of the letter.
