Complete the sentence correctly. Where is that assistant of ________?

Ayou

Byour's

Cyour

Dyours

Answer:

D. yours

Read Explanation:

The expression of + possessive pronoun is used to show possession.

Structure:

of + mine / yours / his / hers / ours / theirs

So the correct sentence is:

Where is that assistant of yours?

Here, yours is a possessive pronoun.

Why the other options are incorrect?

  • ❌ you – You is a subject/object pronoun, not a possessive pronoun.

  • ❌ your’s – Incorrect spelling. There is no word your’s in English.

  • ❌ your – Your is a possessive adjective and must be followed by a noun (e.g., your assistant). It cannot be used after of.

Rule to Remember

After of, use a possessive pronoun, not a possessive adjective.

Examples:

  • ✅ A friend of mine

  • ✅ A colleague of yours

  • ✅ A cousin of hers

  • ✅ Some books of theirs
