Question

Fill in the blank with a possessive pronoun from the alternatives given below:

These gloves are mine, those are ____.

• A. Your
• B. Yours
• C. Its
• D. His

Answer 1

The correct option is B Yours

The given sentence talks about who the 'gloves' belong to. Therefore, we need to use possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns are used to show possession(yours, mine, his, its etc).

The sentence talks about 'these' gloves being 'mine. This gives us an idea that the sentence is in first and second person. Therefore, option D) 'His' is incorrect which is used in 3rd person.

In possessive pronouns, to indicate something belongs to someone, we use 'yours' and not 'your'. Therefore, option A) your is also incorrect.

Since the sentence is talking about people owning 'gloves' we cannot use 'its' and so option C) is also incorrect.

The correct answer is option B) Yours.
