AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of possessive pronouns.

In the given sentence, "That coat of ___ is very warm," we are referring to the coat belonging to someone. The possessive pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is "his."

Option A) his - This option is correct because "his" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate that the coat belongs to someone who is male.

Option B) him - This option is incorrect. "Him" is an object pronoun used to refer to the person receiving the action in a sentence, not to indicate possession.
