Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
The toys in the box are _____.

• A. my
• B. theirs
• C. our
• D. her

Answer 1

The correct option is B theirs

This sentence requires an absolute possessive pronoun as they stand alone and do not modify nouns. Some examples are mine, yours, ours, theirs and so on. Hence option B is the correct answer. Also 'theirs' is in the third person plural form.

Options A, C and D are incorrect because they are limiting pronouns that are used to show that something belongs to an antecedent. My, your, its, his, her, our, their and whose are some examples.
