Q1Choose the most appropriate style of writing the subscription for a formal letter:
Explanation
In a formal letter, the subscription is written without an apostrophe: “Yours obediently”. The word “Yours” is already a possessive form, so adding an apostrophe before s is wrong. Placing the apostrophe after s is also incorrect because the word is not a plural possessive. Writing “Your obediently” is ungrammatical, as “your” needs a noun after it and cannot stand as the subscription. The correct form keeps both words simple and conventional: “Yours obediently”.
