By reading only this passage, we can figuere out that she is talking to herself. She reviews her problems and concerns in her mind, she is making a reflection, that we, as the readers can visualize to know what's happening. The term "soliloquy" matches with this passage, it means: "A speech in a play that the character speaks to himself or herself or to the people watching rather than to the other characters."

There are not any hints that makes us think that she is speaking to someone else as she refers only to herself.

Dear Mr. Townsend,
velikii [3]

Just looking at the answers, I can see it must be B- While the e-mail contains formal language in the body, the salutation is formatted incorrectly and the contact information is missing.

We can see at the end Marissa Lee  says she will add her contact info, but it appears to be missing. In addition, the salutation needs to include the name and position of the receiver.

I hope this helps! :)
