Question

question 3 of 10
fill in the blank in the following sentence with the appropriate possessive adjective below.
profesora, ______ pantalones son bonitos.
a. sus
b. tus
c. tu
d. su

Explanation:

The sentence is addressing "Profesora" (female teacher) directly, so we need a possessive adjective for "you (informal, singular)". "tus" is the plural possessive adjective for "tu" (your, informal singular), and "pantalones" is plural. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: "sus" is for "his/her/their" (plural or singular formal), not direct address to "Profesora" as a direct "you".
• Option B: "tus" means "your (informal, plural)", and since "pantalones" is plural, and we are addressing the teacher directly (informal context here), "tus" fits.
• Option C: "tu" is singular possessive adjective, but "pantalones" is plural, so "tu" (singular) can't be used with plural noun.
• Option D: "su" is singular possessive adjective (his/her/your formal), and "pantalones" is plural, so "su" (singular) doesn't match the plural noun.

So the correct option is B.

Answer:

B. tus
