Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and make a grammatically correct sentence.

Your need is certainly greater than ____.

Options:

I

my

mine

me

Correct Answer:

mine

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is mine.

The sentence is about how the other person's need is certainly greater than the speaker's. The possessive pronoun "mine" is used to refer to something that belongs to the speaker. This is the most appropriate option because it accurately describes who the need belongs to.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • I is the first-person singular pronoun. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the speaker is not talking about themselves, they are talking about the other person.
  • My is the possessive pronoun for the first-person singular pronoun "I." This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the speaker is not talking about something that belongs to them, they are talking about something that belongs to the other person.
  • Me is the object form of the first-person singular pronoun "I." This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the speaker is not talking about themselves as the object of the sentence, they are talking about the other person as the object of the sentence.
