Explanation:

Question 6

When writing a letter to a representative, the first paragraph should introduce yourself and state the purpose of writing. Option a (factual details) are better in later paragraphs, option b (specific bill request) is for later, and option d (personal childhood story) is irrelevant. So option c is correct.

A letter to a representative should be concise and clear, typically around one page. One paragraph is too short, three or five pages are too long and likely to lose the reader's attention.

Proofreading for spelling and grammar errors is important because an error - free letter makes you more credible. A letter with errors won't necessarily not be read (option b is wrong), and errors don't make you more relatable (option c is wrong), so option a is correct.

Answer:

c. Your name and why you are writing
