1 delighted: This is the best choice for an informal letter. "Delighted" means "enthralled", "very happy" or "greatly pleased": one can be "delighted" by any good news. Example: She was delighted when she saw her neighbour was a young, handsome man.
1 disgusted: This is not correct. To be "disgusted" is to be shocked or sickened. Example: "I am disgusted by your refusal to allow me two hours off work to attend my mother's funeral."
1 ravished: This is not correct. To be "ravished" is literally to be abducted with violence, or raped. Someone who is "ravishing" is very beautiful.
1 encountered: This is not correct. "To encounter" is a literary form of "to meet". "I was on my way to visit grandma when I encountered a large wolf."
2 hear about: This is correct. "To hear about (the news)" is to learn about it. Example: I heard about the assassination of JFK while staying in a Thai prison. This is a useful term to use when discovering new events.
2 listen to: This is not correct. "To listen to (the news)" is to make an active effort to hear it. When information is passed to us from another source without us necessarily seeking it, we have to use the verb "to hear". "Listening" is a voluntary activity; "hearing" is involuntary.
2 inherit: This verb cannot be used here. "To inherit (money)" is to obtain it from someone after their death.
2 perceive: This is not correct. "To perceive" is a formal way of saying "to become aware of", "to notice", "to understand".
3 birth: This is correct. Bob is writing his letter to announce the "birth" of his daughter, so it would make sense to refer to this event. A "birth" refers literally to the beginning of someone's life, and figuratively to the beginning of any event (the birth of an organisation, of a company). Example: My entire family was present at the birth of my son.
3 pregnancy: This is not correct. "Pregnancy" is the state of a woman awaiting the birth of her child. Bob's wife, Sophie, has had her pregnancy, and she is no longer pregnant.
3 anniversary: This is not correct. In English, "anniversaries" mark the dates of significant events, marriages, or deaths. The celebration of your birth is your birthday. "Tomorrow will be the sixth anniversary of my father's death."
3 couch: This is not correct. A "couch" or "sofa" is a long, soft chair, often with cushions, designed to be used by more than one person at once.
4 congratulations: This is correct. "Congratulations" is the standard expression when reacting to good news. To "send someone your congratulations" is to express your pleasure at their success.
4 welcome: This is not correct. "To welcome" is "to accept" or "to admit with enthusiasm". It is common to welcome a baby into the world, but not to send a baby a "welcome".
4 good luck: This is not correct. You wish someone "good luck" before an event; "congratulations" if the outcome is successful.
4 thoughts: This is not correct. "Congratulations" are for good news; "thoughts" are for bad news. The expression "my thoughts are with you" is commonly used to express sympathy at a tragic time. A "thought" is the process of thinking.
5 lovely: This is correct. "Lovely" is a lovely word used to describe things that are lovely. Lovely can mean beautiful, graceful, adorable, wonderful, agreeable... Calling Bob's wife "lovely" would be an appropriate thing to do.
5 sympathetic: This is not correct. In English, the term sympathetic can't be used to compliment the way someone looks or dresses or if they are "nice". The primary sense of the term in English is "understanding" or "compassionate", for example: My wife wasn't very sympathetic when my father died, and she wouldn't let me attend the funeral.
5 idiotic: This is not correct. "Idiotic" means "very stupid". Even if you felt Bob's wife merited such a description, you would hardly put it in a letter like this one.
5 pregnant: This is not correct. A "pregnant" woman is awaiting the birth of her child. Bob's wife has just given birth and is this no longer pregnant.
6 health and happiness: This is the best answer. To wish someone "(all the) health and happiness (in the world)" is a very nice thing to say, after all what more do parents want for their children? Apart from good looks, good grades, a good job, a rich spouse, etc.
6 war and peace : This is not correct. You may want to wish peace for the world, but wishing war on anyone is not very nice.
6 love and marriage: This is not correct. The baby is barely one week old. It shouldn't be thinking about romance yet!
6 diet and exercise: This is not correct. The baby is barely one week old. It probably doesn't need to lose weight.
7 In reply to: This is correct. "In reply to (your letter)" is commonly used at the start of a sentence to refer to a previous letter, and to state your response. Example: In reply to your job advertisement, please find enclosed my CV and cover letter.
7 In reference to: This is not correct. The expression "in reference to" is very formal, and appropriate only in a business letter. "In reference to your letter of June 21, our legal team denies all responsibility in the affair."
7 Please find enclosed: This is not correct. The expression "please find enclosed" is used to draw attention to an item, usually a cheque or a document, attached to a letter. "Please find enclosed a copy of my CV."
7 In addition to: This is not correct. The expression "in addition to" means "as well as". "I've had a tough week. In addition to my job, I've had to look after three five-year-old boys!"
8 look forward: This is correct. To "look forward to (doing something)" is to be excited and impatient about it or to anticipate it with pleasure. "I look forward to seeing you (on Saturday)" is a polite expression of anticipation.
8 wish: This is not correct. "I wish to SEE you" is correct, however this blank is followed by a verb in the gerund (seeing).
8 hope: This is not correct. "I hope to SEE you" is perfectly correct, however this blank is followed by a verb in the gerund (seeing).
8 hate: This is incorrect. To "hate (to do something)" is to detest doing it. The verb is never used to express "looking forward to" an event and can be followed by a verb in the full infinitive or directly by the gerund with little difference in meaning: to hate doing or to do something.
9 Best wishes: This is the best choice. We can close most non-business correspondence in this way. Other examples of closing a letter to friends and acquaintances: warm wishes/best regards/sincerely/with thanks.
9 May the force be with you: This is not correct. "Best wishes" is a standard way of closing non-business correspondence. "May the force be with you" might pass in an informal note between close friends who were Star Wars fanatics.
9 Get well soon: This is not correct. "Get well soon" is used to wish people who are ill a quick recovery, Bob does not say that he (or anyone else) is ill.
9 Tanks you: Ah, the tank. Massive weapon of destruction introduced in the first world war by the British during the battle of Cambrai. An effective killing machine for sure, but not the ideal word to end a letter.
