Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
I enjoyed _____ vacation. Did you enjoy _____ too?
(a)Me/yours
(b)My/yourself
(c)Mine/yours
(d)My/yours

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given sentence carefully. Try to make out the core meaning of it. Find out the subject, predicate and the object of the given sentence.

Complete answer:The given sentence conveys that the speaker enjoyed his vacation, and is asking if the other person enjoyed his. We have to fill in the given blanks with the correct personal pronoun from among the four given options.
(a)Me/yours-They both are pronouns. ‘Me’ is used by the speaker to refer to himself/herself. ‘Yours' means of or belonging to something.
(b)My/yourself-They both are prepositions. ‘My’ is of or belonging to me. ‘Yourself’ means belonging to you.
(c)Mine/yours-They both are pronouns. ‘Mine’ is of or belonging to me. ‘Yours’ is - belonging to someone else.
(d)My/yours-They both are prepositions. They can be used in the given sentence as they will suit in the given blank correctly. ‘My' is something that belongs to oneself. ‘Yours’ is something belonging to someone else.
As we have analysed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct option. Here, the correct words to be filled in are – my/yours. The complete sentence would be – “I enjoyed my vacation. Did you enjoy yours too?” Hence, option ‘d’ is the correct option.

Note:All the other options are palusibke4 distractions. Don’t confuse between ‘yours’ and ‘yourself’. ‘You’ is an object pronoun, ‘yourself’ is a reflexive pronoun.
