Choose from the options given below:

Options:

Yours sincerely

Yours lovingly

Yours forever

Your dear friend

Correct Answer:

Yours sincerely

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Yours sincerely

  • "Yours sincerely" is commonly used in formal letters, especially when addressing someone by name. It conveys professionalism and respect.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • "Yours forever" → Too casual and personal, inappropriate for formal settings.
  • "Your dear friend" → Informal and used only in personal letters to a close acquaintance.
