When Gregor, the protagonist in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, transforms into a giant insect, his relationship with his family hits a low. However, in chapter 2, his relationship with his sister, Grete, evolves as she becomes his sole caregiver. This means that only his sister can understand what situation Gregor has undergone.
[H]is sister noticed the full dish immediately and looked at it and the few drops of milk splashed around it with some surprise. She immediately picked it up—using a rag, not her bare hands—and carried it out. Gregor was extremely curious as to what she would bring in its place, imagining the wildest possibilities, but he never could have guessed what his sister, in her goodness, actually did bring. In order to test his taste, she brought him a whole selection of things, all spread out on an old newspaper. There were old, half-rotten vegetables; bones from the evening meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard; a few raisins and almonds; some cheese that Gregor had declared inedible two days before; a dry roll and some bread spread with butter and salt. As well as all that she had poured some water into the dish, which had probably been permanently set aside for Gregor's use, and placed it beside them. Then, out of consideration for Gregor's feelings, as she knew that he would not eat in front of her, she hurried out again and even turned the key in the lock so that Gregor would know he could make things as comfortable for himself as he liked. Gregor's little legs whirred, at last he could eat.
The correct salutation is given in option (B): "Dear Dr. Jefferson:" as it denotes a formal tone by using "colon."
"After the salutation, a punctuation mark is used."
In a personal letter, use a comma; in a business letter, use a colon; and in an email, use either punctuation mark. (The colon is a formal punctuation mark.)
But keep in mind that the word "dear" isn't necessary for email, even if you're writing to a stranger.
A salutation often consists of two parts: a greeting or an adjective, and the name or title of the person to whom you're writing.
The salutation in the previous example is made up of an adjective and a name, with no comma between them. A comma should, however, be used to separate a straight greeting from a person's name.
