Pooja is writing to her elder brother, who works in Hyderabad, to tell him about her board examination results. Choose the most appropriate complimentary close for her letter:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Your loving sister
The complimentary close is the polite phrase that ends a letter. A letter to an elder brother is an informal letter, so it needs a warm, personal close. Pooja is his sister, so she ends with “Your loving sister”.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Yours faithfully — Incorrect. It is a formal close for letters to offices and officials.
Option 2: Your loving brother — Incorrect. A brother would end his letter this way. Here the letter is written by his sister.
Option 4: Yours truly — Incorrect. It is a formal close, used in business letters.
