Answer 1

Hint:Choose the most appropriate complimentary close meaning the term which can be inserted before the signature in any email when the person is dealing with the formal communication.

Complete answer:
Let us individually analyse the answer to figure out the correct one
Option (A) ‘Sincerely’: is the correct option to choose because the word ‘Sincerely’ is used when a person is dealing with the superiors such as managers, professors, potential employers, or any person who is unknown to the one who is writing the letter or simply it is for a formal letter. In this case, the person is dealing with the formal communication with the letter recipient so ‘Sincerely’ and its derivatives are the most suitable.
Option (B) ‘Yours’: is not a correct option because the word ‘Yours’ is used when a person is dealing with the known person or to someone close enough with whom there is a possibility to use informal communication. Since the above-mentioned shows, formal communication between them as the sender formally requested the recipient hence it is appropriate to use ‘Yours’ here.
Option (C) ‘With love’: is not a correct option because the word ‘With love’ is used with a person who is very close to you for instance it can be any on the family member, close relatives, etc. Since the above-mentioned is the formal communication between them it is not appropriate to use ‘With love’.
Option (D) ‘Cordially’: is not a correct option because the word ‘Cordially’ is used in a friendly way and the emotion it shows is the warm feelings of the one which is used to convey only to the known person. Since ‘Cordially’ can be used only in informal letters as the receiver is known to the sender. The above mentioned shows the formal communication so it is not appropriate to use.

Sincerely,

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:Whenever any person is dealing with strangers or superiors or to any of the person who is not in a common approach it is wise to choose formal communication which shows that the person is taking care of the line of dignity between them. Since formal communication is used above it is better to use ‘Sincerely’ and its derivatives for the closing.
