Which part of a formal email gives a brief indication of the purpose of the message?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Subject line
The subject line briefly identifies the topic or purpose of an email before the recipient reads its full content. It helps the recipient judge relevance and organise or prioritise messages. A greeting addresses the recipient, a signature identifies the sender, and an attachment is an additional file; none of these normally states the main purpose as briefly as the subject line.
