Choose the most appropriate option for Blank 10 in the letter.
- Your's
- Your
- Yours'
- Yours
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Yours
The standard closing is “Yours truly”: “yours” is a possessive pronoun and never takes an apostrophe. “Your's” and “Yours'” are misspellings, and “Your truly” is ungrammatical.
