GATE 2023 · General Aptitude · Pronouns · medium

Answer: B. your

1. Identify the grammatical role of the blank: The blank precedes the noun 'contributions'. The word in the blank must function as a determiner/possessive adjective. Possessive adjectives modify nouns directly.
2. Match with options: 'Your contributions' — correct (possessive + noun). 'You are contributions' — ungrammatical. 'You're contributions' — same problem (contraction of you are). 'Yore contributions' — archaic and meaningless here.
3. Select option B: 'Send your contributions at the earliest.' — grammatically perfect and semantically complete.
