In block format, the date, closing, and writer's name and title begin at the left margin.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only the date begins at the left margin
• D. The closing always appears below the signature

Answer: (A)

Block format uses left-aligned, or flush-left, text for every element. That means the date, the closing, and the writer’s name and title all begin at the left edge of the page, with no indentation. This consistent left alignment gives the document a clean, orderly look and makes it easy to scan. The closing line appears at the left margin with a comma after it, and the typed name and title sit directly beneath the signature block, also starting at the left margin. In other formats, these elements might be placed differently (centered or right-aligned), but in true block format they all stay at the left margin.
