I had to write a letter of mistake to my father for the blunder I made.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. apology.
A 'letter of mistake' is not a standard phrase and does not clearly communicate the purpose of the letter.
The phrase should align with the context, which involves addressing a 'blunder' made by the writer. In such a context, the appropriate phrase is 'letter of apology,' as it conveys the act of expressing regret for a blunder or mistake.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- I had to write a letter of apology to my father for the blunder I made
