Shreya’s aunt in Patna sent her a set of storybooks on her birthday. Shreya writes to thank her. Choose the most appropriate complimentary close for her letter:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Your loving niece
A letter to an aunt is an informal letter. Its complimentary close should be warm and show how the writer is related to the reader. Shreya is her aunt’s niece, so “Your loving niece” is right.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours faithfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close for letters to offices and officials.
Option 3: Your loving aunt — Incorrect. The aunt would sign her letter this way. Shreya is the niece, not the aunt.
Option 4: Yours truly — Incorrect. It is a formal close. A letter to an aunt needs a warm one.
