D) her

Answer 1

Hint: An adjective is a term that modifies or describes the referent of a noun or a noun phrase in linguistics. Its semantic function is to alter the information provided by the noun. Adjectives include words like "old," "green," and "joyous."

Complete answer:
My, your, his, her, it, our, their, and whose are possessive adjectives. A possessive adjective appears in front of a noun (or a pronoun) to indicate who or what owns it. For instance, she admires your headgear.

Let us look at the given options:
A) your: This is the correct option. 'Your' refers to the speaker's relationship to the person or individuals to whom he or she is speaking. Because the lady at the window is addressing the form filled out by the passage's narrator, this is the right second person possessive to use.
B) my: This option is incorrect because in the given sentence, the lady is addressing the narrator's form rather than her own. Thus, this option cannot be used.
C) his: This option is incorrect because ‘his’ refers to a person mentioned in the third person. This is inappropriate since the lady is speaking directly to the narrator.
D) her: This option is incorrect because possessives in the third person refer to a person who is being spoken of. This is inappropriate since the lady is speaking directly to the narrator.

Thus, the correct answer is Option A) Your.

Note: Following are different types of adjectives:
- An adjective that characterises nouns and pronouns is called a descriptive adjective. This is where the majority of the adjectives belong.
- The quantity of the nouns/pronouns is indicated by a quantitative adjective.
- A query is posed by an interrogative adjective. A noun or a pronoun must come after an interrogative adjective.
