Block style is used for which document?

• A. Resumes
• B. Invoices
• C. Meeting notes
• D. Cover letters

Answer: (D)

Block style is a left-aligned, no-indentation format used for formal business letters. It presents information in a clean, uniform layout with sections separated by spaces, which conveys professionalism and readability.

A cover letter is a formal letter sent with a resume to introduce the applicant and explain fit for the job. Because it’s a piece of professional correspondence, block style is the standard choice to present it clearly and respectfully. Invoices and meeting notes serve different purposes and formats— invoices typically rely on itemized tables and totals, while meeting notes use bullets or outlines for quick reference—so they don’t use block-style letter formatting. Resumes can vary in layout, but the traditional, formal cover letter paired with a resume is where block style is most appropriate.
