Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
His house is smaller than you .
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. is smaller than yours.
The comparison here is between "his house" and "your house." To avoid repeating "house," we use "yours" as a possessive pronoun.
The other options are incorrect:
"is small as you" is grammatically incorrect.
"is small than you" uses "small" instead of "smaller," breaking the comparative structure.
"is smaller than your" is incomplete and requires a noun (e.g., "house") after "your."
