The letter states that one can avail the service offered by the company till June 20, 2019.
Correct Option: 3
- avail the service on offer from
- Incorrect. "Avail" should be followed by "of" when used in this sense. "On offer from" is awkward phrasing here.
- avail the service on offer by
- Incorrect. "Avail" needs "of" after it. "On offer by" is not idiomatic English.
- avail of the service offered by
- Correct. This uses the proper construction "avail of" and correctly describes the service as "offered by" the company.
- avail of the service offered from
- Almost correct, but "offered from" is not as idiomatic as "offered by" when referring to a company providing a service.
- The verb "avail" is typically used with "of" in formal English, as in "to avail oneself of something".
- "Offered by" is the standard phrase when referring to services provided by a company.
- Be careful with prepositions - they can significantly change the meaning or correctness of a phrase.
- In formal writing, it's important to use complete and grammatically correct phrases rather than shortened forms that might be used in casual speech.
