Identify whether the statement given below is true or false. The writer feels that letter-writing is a class apart from other kinds of writing.
False. The writer does not state that letter-writing is superior to or separate from other kinds of writing. He simply contrasts writing (including letters) with telephone conversations, emphasizing that written words can be treasured and re-read, unlike fleeting telephone conversations.
Explanation
The chapter compares writing letters with telephone conversations, not with other forms of writing. The writer states that 'Writing—even if it is a letter—not only conveys our present concerns and views... but it becomes a possession that can be treasured.' He does not make any comparison suggesting letter-writing is 'a class apart' from other writing forms.
