A letter relates to a word as a sentence relates to what?

  1. Chapter

  2. Paragraph

  3. Phrase

  4. Essay

The correct answer is: Paragraph

A letter serves as a fundamental component of a word, much like a sentence is a building block within a paragraph. In the structure of written language, letters combine to form words, just as sentences combine to form paragraphs. While a chapter can consist of multiple paragraphs and an essay encompasses several paragraphs, neither directly represents the immediate relationship of a single sentence to a larger unit. A phrase is smaller than a sentence, making it less relevant in this context. Therefore, the best choice is to compare the foundational role that a sentence plays within a paragraph.
