Choose the most suitable option from the given alternatives to add the subscription of a letter for job application.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Yours truly
A job application is a formal letter to a person the writer does not know personally. In the format followed in Indian schools it closes with the subscription "Yours truly" (or "Yours faithfully"), followed by the writer's name.
Example: Yours truly, Neha Sharma.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: Yours affectionately — Incorrect. It is used in informal letters to family members and close friends, not in a job application.
Option 3: Yours truely — Incorrect. "Truely" is a misspelling; the correct word is "truly".
Option 4: Yours truthfully — Incorrect. "Yours truthfully" is not a letter closing in English.
