Question

Complete the sentence using my own/ your own etc. + one of the following-
You can give him advice but he won’t listen. He’s got _____.
a- his own parliament
b- his own ideas
c- his own money
d- his own business

Answer 1

Hint: ‘His own’ refers to possessing or having something to one’s name. In the given sentence, ‘X’ can be given advice but he won’t listen because he’s got his own thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

Complete answer:
In the given question- We can comprehend that ‘X’ does not listen to the advice or suggestions of others, because he is only bothered by his own ideas and objectives.
Now, let’s look at the given options-
Option a- ‘his own parliament’ is an incorrect option, because ‘parliament’ refers to a legislative body of the government which cannot be owned or possessed by a person.
Option b- ‘his own ideas’ is the correct option, because X can be influenced by his own opinion and goals. One can only advise or suggest to him.
Option c- ‘his own money’ is an incorrect option because ‘money’ has no relation with advice. Money is a materialistic aspect, whereas advice is an intellectual aspect.
Option d- ‘his own business’ is an incorrect option because ‘business’ has no relation with advice. Advice is an intellectual aspect, whereas business is a materialistic aspect.
So, the correct answer is “Option b”.

Note:
We use ‘own’ to show our possession over something or someone. Example- He owns this car. Here, we can see ‘Y’s possession over the car.
