Writing an E-mail about an Important Issue — Quiz

Question 3 • 191 CR ELA 9

Read the sentence. You have to agree that paving over that muddy, gross area where we wait before school is a good idea. Which revision makes the tone of the sentence appropriate for a formal e-mail?

Answer
A
Please note our awesome suggestion for paving over the gross area where we wait before school.
B
Paving over that muddy area where students wait before school is obviously a smart plan.
C
Please review our suggestion for paving over the muddy area where students wait before school.
D
You know, you should consider paving over the area where we wait before school because it’s gross.

Explanation

A formal e-mail should use polite, professional wording and avoid slang or overly forceful claims. “Please review our suggestion” is courteous, and “muddy area where students wait before school” describes the problem clearly. Choice C is the most appropriate revision; the other choices use informal terms such as “awesome” and “gross,” or sound too forceful.
