Megha is writing to her grandmother in Shimla to thank her for a hand-knitted sweater. Choose the most appropriate complimentary close for her letter.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Your loving granddaughter
A letter to a grandmother is an informal letter. Its complimentary close (the phrase before the writer’s name) is warm and shows the relation. Megha is the granddaughter, so she ends with “Your loving granddaughter”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours faithfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close for letters to officials, offices and newspapers.
Option 2: Your loving grandmother — Incorrect. The close names the writer. Megha is not the grandmother.
Option 3: Yours truly — Incorrect. It is a formal close, used in business letters.
