Which of the following is a salutation example?

• A. See you next time
• B. Have a wonderful day
• C. Good morning
• D. Farewell

Answer: (C)

Salutation is a greeting used at the start of an interaction to acknowledge the other person and begin the exchange. Good morning is a classic time-based greeting you say as you begin a conversation in the morning, which makes it the clearest example of a salutation. The other phrases serve different functions: see you next time is something you say when ending a conversation; have a wonderful day is a friendly closing remark or well-wish; farewell is a goodbye. In short, good morning starts the exchange, while the others close it or express wishes after the interaction.
