Answer 2

Here are the correct choices for each sentence:

1. Your house is bigger than mine.
2. Do you like their house better than his?
3. Your garden is smaller than theirs.
4. My children are older than hers.
5. This book isn't mine. Is it yours?
6. Whose dictionary is this? Is it his?
7. Who's talking to your sister? Who's going to her party tonight?
8. Whose dog is that in our garden?

Note: "Your" and "His" are possessive pronouns, while "Yours" and "Hers" are possessive pronoun forms used when there is no following noun. For example, "Your house" and "Yours" mean the same thing, but "Yours" is used when there's no following noun like in sentence 5. "Who's" is a contraction of "who is," and "Whose" is the possessive form of "who."
