Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.

___ shoes are black, ___ are brown.

• A. Me/his
• B. Our/him
• C. My/hers
• D. He/my
• E. Their/we

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

My/hers

The first part indicates possession in first person singular, hence, "my". The second part indicates possession in third person singular feminine objective, her shoes, hence "hers". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
