Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Cover letters included in the body of an email message may be problematic for recipients who read their email on mobile devices. If you decide to include your cover letter content in the body of the email message, use a standard email format rather than a formal letter style, and mention that your rsum is attached.

Answer: E
Explanation: E) In an unsolicited cover letter, gaining attention is more challenging. Because the company did not request applications, you need to persuade the audience to read your message rather than ignore or discard it.
