1. These aren't my/mine pens. They're your/yours. - Circle "mine" and "yours".

3. Diana and Jane's/Janes' hair is dark. - Circle "Diana and Jane's".

Answer 3

Sure, I'll provide detailed explanations for each sentence.

1. These aren't my/mine pens. They're your/yours. - In this sentence, you should use "my" and "yours." "My" is used before a noun to show possession, and "yours" is a possessive pronoun that replaces "your" + noun. So it's "my pens" and "yours."

2. I've got two sisters. Their/Theirs names are Diana and Jane. - The correct choice is "Their." "Their" is a possessive pronoun that shows possession by more than one person, and it is used before a noun. So it's "Their names."

3. Diana and Jane's/Janes' hair is dark. - The correct choice is "Diana and Jane's." When two or more people share possession, you use an apostrophe + s ('s) after the last name. In this case, it's the hair of both Diana and Jane, so you write "Diana and Jane's hair."

4. My parent's/parents' eyes are brown, but our/ours are blue. - The correct choices are "parents' eyes" and "ours." "Parents'" is the possessive form for more than one parent, and "ours" is a possessive pronoun used to show that the eyes belong to "us."

5. My best friend's/friends' name is Louise. - The correct choice is "best friend's." In this case, you are talking about the name of one best friend, so you use the singular possessive form, "best friend's."

6. My hobby is football, but her/hers is music. - The correct choice is "hers." In this sentence, you are using the possessive pronoun "hers" to indicate that the hobby belongs to "her."

So, to summarize: 1. my/yours 2. Their 3. Diana and Jane's 4. parents'/ours 5. best friend's 6. hers
