Answer to Question 1

D
Cordially yours, is the correct way of writing the complimentary closing of a letter using
standard punctuation. Capitalize only the first word in a complimentary closing, and place a
comma after the last word if you are using standard punctuation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Placing a comma after the last word of a complimentary closing if you are using open
punctuation is not a recommended practice when writing a business letter. The correct
practice is to place the comma after the last word of the complimentary closing if you are using
standard punctuation.
