Answer 1

1. mine - Possessive Pronoun

2. its - Possessive Adjective

Explanation:

Remember, that Pronoun is used in place of noun and Adjective is used to describe noun.

Possessive Pronoun always comes after the helping verb.

E.G: This pencil is mine.

So, mine, here shows, the ownership of pencil.

Possessive Adjective always comes before the noun.

E.G: My chocolate.

Here, the word 'my' describes what's chocolate.
