Ananya, a Class IX student in Pune, has a pen friend, Yuki, in Japan. She writes to Yuki about the Diwali celebrations in her city. Choose the most suitable complimentary close for her letter:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Your friend
A pen friend is a friend one knows through letters. Ananya’s letter is informal, so it ends with a friendly complimentary close. “Your friend” names the real bond between the two girls.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours faithfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close for letters to offices and officials.
Option 3: Yours respectfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close that shows respect to a senior.
Option 4: Your loving sister — Incorrect. Yuki is Ananya’s friend, not her sister, so this close names the wrong relation.
