Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence: His house is smaller than you.

Question

Accepted Answer

The sentence compares the size of 'his house' with 'you'. The correct comparative structure requires the use of the possessive pronoun 'yours' to refer to 'your house'. Hence, 'His house is smaller than yours' is correct. The other options are grammatically incorrect: 'is small as you' is incorrect because 'small' should be 'smaller' and 'as' is used differently; 'is small than you' is incorrect because 'small' should be 'smaller'; 'is smaller than your' is incorrect because 'your' is a possessive adjective and needs a noun after it, but here it should be a pronoun 'yours'.
