Question

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.

Ted and Nick looked for _____ dog for a long time.
They found a little one but it wasn't _____.

• A. his/its
• B. our/their
• C. his/mine
• D. their/theirs
• E. their/ours

Answer 1

The correct option is D their/theirs

The first sentence indicates possession in third person plural subjective, hence, "their". The second part indicates possession in third person plural objective, hence "theirs". Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
