Question 8 • Honors English III

Read the excerpt from Amir’s letter to an advertising company where he wants to work over the summer. (1) Your company has worked on some truly iconic campaigns over the past few years. (2) I have always been interested in advertising, and I would welcome the opportunity to learn more about the industry this summer. Which is the best revision of sentence 2?

Answer
A
I have always thought that I should work in advertising, and this seems like the perfect summer job for me.
B
I have always wanted to know more about the advertising industry, and I think this is the place for me this summer.
C
I have always been interested in advertising, and this summer, you could teach me a lot more.
D
no change

Explanation

Sentence 2 is already clear, professional, and appropriate for a letter to a potential employer. It expresses Amir’s interest in advertising and politely asks for an opportunity to learn about the industry. The other revisions sound less professional or make assumptions about the company’s role in teaching him.
