Answer 1

Hint: Notice is a means of formal communication targeted at a particular person or a group of persons. It can be an invitation to a meeting, an announcement of any event, to issue certain instructions, make appeals, etc.

Complete step-by-step answer:

The heading of the notice must be short, eye-catching and it should make the purpose of the notice abundantly clear. Let us look at the options given to us and find out the most appropriate heading. From the options given to us, the most appropriate heading is option a, “Dance competition” is the most appropriate heading as it clearly suggests that the notice is issued to inform the students at school about a dance competition. The rest of the options are irrelevant. Option ‘b’ displays too much information, information that should be given out in the passage. Option ‘c’ is more like a question and option ‘d’ has too little information and does not make clear the purpose of notice clearly as it does not mention which competition is the notice talking about. Thus option d, b, c, are incorrect. Therefore, the option ‘a’ is the correct answer.

Note: The notice heading should make the purpose of notice clear, but it should not give away too much information or too little information.
