Kunal stays in a hostel in Dehradun. He is writing a letter to his father about his first month there. Which of the following is the most suitable complimentary close for his letter?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Your loving son
A letter to one’s father is an informal letter. Its complimentary close is warm and shows the relation. So Kunal ends his letter with “Your loving son”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours faithfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close. It is used in letters to officials and offices.
Option 3: Your loving father — Incorrect. The close names the writer’s own relation. Kunal is the son, not the father.
Option 4: Your loving brother — Incorrect. The close names the writer’s own relation to the reader. Kunal is writing to his father, so he is the son here.
