"How to Fold a Standard Business Letter"

No. 10 Envelope (Approximately 9 1/2 x 4 1/8 inches)

Use this size of envelope for standard business letters.
Check the inside address on the letter with the address on the envelope to be sure they correspond.
Be sure that the letter is properly signed.
Place the letter faceup on the desk.
With the edges even at the sides, crease the fold.
Fold the top downward so that the top edge of the letterhead is within half an inch of the bottom fold. With the edges even at the sides, crease the fold.
Insert the letter into the envelope with the last crease toward the bottom of the envelope.


These steps are not complete. Which step needs to be added to make this procedure clearer, and where should it be inserted?

A.“Using a ruler, measure the letter and mark off thirds,” should be inserted before step 1.
B.“Fold slightly less than one-third of the letter toward the top edge of the sheet,” should be inserted after step 6.
C.“Using a ruler, measure the letter and mark off thirds,” should be inserted after step 5.
D.“Fold slightly less than one-third of the letter toward the top edge of the sheet,” should be inserted in step 5 before the instruction to crease the fold.

Answer:

D.“Fold slightly less than one-third of the letter toward the top edge of the sheet,” should be inserted in step 5 before the instruction to crease the fold.

Explanation:

The instructions on how to fold a business letter lack a procedure between the placement of the letter faceup and the step that includes the creasing of the fold, in which the fold is already mentioned. In that matter, the folding of one-third of the letter precedes the creasing of the fold.

Answer:

D.“Fold slightly less than one-third of the letter toward the top edge of the sheet,” should be inserted in step 5 before the instruction to crease the fold.

Explanation:

This is the step that is missing in the described process. While the beginning part of the instructions is correct, the fourth step should be followed by the fold of slightly less than one-third of the letter toward the top edge of the sheet. This should come before the instruction to crease the fold (step 5). If this instruction were inserted, the passage would show the accurate way to fold a standard business letter.
