A job application letter is different from a resume in that:
a.it presents a job candidate's qualification.
b.it uses short,parallel phrases and sentence fragments.
c.it is adapted to a position rather than to the needs of a particular organization.
d.it explains controversial material in a positive way.
I don't like any of your choices. But, probably the best is c.
I think the answer is a) but then I think it's d) also, because b)is about resumes,c) is about resume and letter(both). a)talks about letter and
d)is maybe about letter too!
A resume presents a candidate's qualifications -- so A can't be right.
Letters will NEVER use sentence fragments. Scratch B.
Controversial material has no place in either the letter or the resume. Scratch D.
Both of you are wrong
The correct answer is b. A job application letter uses short, parallel phrases and sentence fragments.
To arrive at this answer, let's examine the given options:
a. It presents a job candidate's qualification: This is true for both a job application letter and a resume. Both documents are used to highlight a job candidate's qualifications and experiences.
b. It uses short, parallel phrases and sentence fragments: This answer choice correctly differentiates a job application letter from a resume. A resume typically uses concise, bullet-pointed statements to outline qualifications, while a job application letter allows for more detailed and complete sentences.
c. It is adapted to a position rather than to the needs of a particular organization: This is not a significant difference between a job application letter and a resume. Both documents should be tailored to the specific job and organization the candidate is applying to.
d. It explains controversial material in a positive way: This is also not a defining difference between a job application letter and a resume. Both documents should focus on presenting qualifications and experiences positively.
By process of elimination, the correct answer is b. A job application letter uses short, parallel phrases and sentence fragments.
