Which term refers to using a person's name in communication?

• A. Direct Address
• B. Enclosed
• C. Formal Letter
• D. Correct Form

Answer: (A)

Direct address is the term for using a person’s name in communication. It directly calls out the person you’re speaking to, personalizing the message and signaling who should respond. For example, saying “Emma, please pass the salt” uses Emma’s name to address her specifically. The other terms refer to unrelated ideas—enclosed means items included with a message, formal letter is a document type, and correct form concerns grammar or formatting. So, direct address best fits the idea of naming someone in the exchange.
