Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
We had a good time on _____ holiday in Spain.

• A. mine
• B. our
• C. theirs
• D. you

Answer 1

The correct option is B our

Since the sentence has the first person plural pronoun 'we', the appropriate possessive pronoun to be used would be a limiting possessive pronoun in the first person plural (my, your, his, our, their,..) that shows possession or belongingness of something to an antecedent. Thus option B, 'our' is the correct answer.

Options A and C are incorrect because they are absolute possessive pronouns that emphasize the possessors and would be grammatically incorrect if used in the sentence. Also, 'mine' is a possessive form of the first person singular pronoun 'I' while the sentence requires the first person plural form.

Option D is incorrect because 'you' is the second person singular pronoun and would be grammatically and logically incorrect if used in the sentence.
