Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with the correct…

Answer: hers

Explanation: Use a possessive pronoun to replace "her college" in the comparison. Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) stand alone and do not use an apostrophe.

• Why "hers" is correct: "hers" replaces the phrase "her college" and shows possession without a following noun.

• "her" is a possessive adjective (determiner) used before a noun (e.g., "her college"). It cannot stand alone after "than."

• "her's" is incorrect because possessive pronouns do not use an apostrophe.

• "she" is a subject pronoun and does not show possession.

Final sentence: My college is farther than hers.
