Let's solve this step-by-step by identifying the
parts of a friendly letter based on the image provided.
We are given a letter and asked to match each part (address, date, greeting, body, closure, signature) to its correct location in the letter. Here's how we analyze it:
---
Step 1: Understand the parts of a friendly letter
A typical
friendly letter includes these parts:
1.
Address – The sender’s address (usually at the top).
2.
Date – When the letter was written.
3.
Greeting – How the writer addresses the recipient (e.g., "Dear Aunt Sarah").
4.
Body – The main message or content of the letter.
5.
Closure – A polite ending phrase (e.g., "Your nephew,").
6.
Signature – The name of the sender.

Step 2: Match each labeled part in the image
Now let’s go through the numbered blanks in the image:
#### 1. →
6 Palm Street, Port Antonio P.O., Portland
- This is the
sender's address, written at the top.
-
✔ So,
1 = address
#### 2. →
June 2nd, 2021
- This is the
date when the letter was written.
-
✔ So,
2 = date
#### 3. →
Dear Aunt Sarah,
- This is the
greeting, where the writer starts addressing the recipient.
-
✔ So,
3 = greeting
#### 4. → The paragraph starting with "I am writing..." and continuing
- This is the
main content of the letter — what the writer wants to say.
-
✔ So,
4 = body
#### 5. →
Your nephew,
- This is the
closure, a polite way to end the letter before signing.
-
✔ So,
5 = closure
#### 6. →
James
- This is the
signature, the writer's name.
-
✔ So,
6 = signature

Final Answer:
| Number | Part |
|--------|------------|
| 1 | address |
| 2 | date |
| 3 | greeting |
| 4 | body |
| 5 | closure |
| 6 | signature |
---
Summary:
You would drag the words as follows:
- 1 →
address
- 2 →
date
- 3 →
greeting
- 4 →
body
- 5 →
closure
- 6 →
signature
✔ This correctly identifies all the parts of the friendly letter!
