Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) If the name of an individual manager is available, address your letter to that person, rather than something generic or informal. Search online and ask people who may know to find the right name. If another applicant finds a name and you don't, you're at a disadvantage.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Because the purpose of an application letter is simply to move the conversation forward, toward an interview, keep it short and direct. It is an expansion of your rsum, not a complete replica of it. Three paragraphs is a good length to aim for.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
