Choose the best option-
In complimentary close of a letter, we write ________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → signature, name and post
The complimentary close is the closing part of a formal letter. Below the closing phrase ("Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely") the writer puts his or her signature, then the name, and then the post (designation), so that the reader knows who has written and in what capacity.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: date, signature and name — Incorrect. The date is written at the top of the letter, below the sender's address, not in the close.
Option 2: subject, signature and post — Incorrect. The subject line comes before the salutation, at the start of the letter.
Option 4: signature, post and address — Incorrect. The sender's address is written at the top of the letter, and the name is missing.
