Where is the subject placed relative to the subject line?

• A. Above the From line
• B. In the footer
• C. Left margin on the second line below the subject
• D. Centered on the page

Answer: (C)

In a formal memo layout, the label “Subject:” sits at the top, and the actual subject text should appear on the line that is two lines down from that header, aligned with the left margin. This spacing and left alignment keep the topic clearly separated from the header details (like From/To/Date) and give the page a clean, easy-to-skim appearance. It isn’t placed in the footer, nor above the From line, nor centered on the page.
