Answer 1

Your pen is better than mine.

Answer 2

Answer:

correct answer will be:

Your pen is better than my pen.

Your pen is better than mine.

Explanation:

In the above example , the speaker wants to compare the two entities . The two entities are his pen and my pen. But the comparison is not done in a proper way. He has done comparison between my pen and my , which does not make any sense. So the comparison should be done between same type of entities . Comparison can be done between noun and noun:

Noun and noun:

Your pen is better than my pen.

Here comparison is done between his pen and my pen , both are noun.

Between noun and possessive pronoun:

Possessive pronoun is a combination of personal adjective and noun.

mine = my + noun

So by comparing noun and possessive pronoun resembles comparing noun with noun, so it will be correct comparison because both the entities are of same types.

So correct sentence will be :

Your pen is better than mine.
