Question

what is the first key note emphasized for writing a cover letter? *
1 point
always address the hiring manager by their first name
use a business letter format with left or justified text
include as many personal stories as possible
use fancy fonts to stand out

which of the following is recommended as an appropriate font for a cover letter?
times new roman, 10-12 point
comic sans, 14 point
arial black, 8 point
decorative script, 16 point

Explanation:

For the first question: Addressing the hiring manager by first name is not always appropriate (if their name is unknown or formal tone is needed), personal stories should be relevant not excessive, and fancy fonts look unprofessional. Using a standard business letter format is a core foundational requirement for cover letters.
For the second question: Comic Sans, Arial Black (8 point, too small), and decorative script are unprofessional or hard to read. Times New Roman in 10-12 point is a standard, readable, professional font for formal documents like cover letters.

Answer:

1. Use a business letter format with left or justified text
2. Times New Roman, 10-12 point
