Writing — Circulars and Notices MCQ — 15 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

A formal notice should begin with the issuing authority, the label NOTICE, a clear heading, and the date. The cue is an official college announcement about changed library timings. Option A alone gives a notice-style opening block; the other options use personal-letter, application, or formal-letter formats.

Explanation

A notice is an official announcement displayed or issued to a defined group; a circular is an internal message circulated to several concerned persons or units; an agenda lists meeting discussion points; minutes record meeting proceedings and decisions. These definitions cue the pairings 1-b, 2-d, 3-a, and 4-c. Option A is therefore the only correct match.

Explanation

A circular is used for a common official instruction sent to several persons or units at the same time. The cue is the new attendance rule addressed to all branch managers. Since this is exactly the kind of group instruction a circular carries, both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A; hence Option A alone is correct.

Explanation

A lost-and-found notice must be brief but must include details that help identification and return. The cue is a lost student identity card, so the notice needs the student's identity, card particulars, where and when it was lost, and how to contact the owner. Option D alone gives these necessary action details. The other options provide irrelevant personal information, only a heading and reward, or unrelated school material.

Explanation

Formal notices and circulars require relevant facts in an impersonal, official style. The cues are the event-notice details in Statement 1 and the defined recipient group in Statement 3. Statement 1 is correct because an event notice must tell readers what, when, where, for whom, and by whose authority. Statement 3 is correct because circulars communicate common information or instructions to a defined group. Statement 2 is wrong because notices normally avoid greetings, chatty language, and emotional appeals. Therefore, only Statements 1 and 3 are correct.
