Yours is the correct possessive pronoun meaning belonging to you. In comparative structures like smaller than, we use the possessive pronoun form. You is a subject pronoun, your is a possessive adjective, and me is an object pronoun.

The definite article 'the' is used with 'capital' because Paris is the unique, specific capital of France. When referring to a unique entity (one-of-a-kind), we use 'the' rather than indefinite articles 'a' or 'an'.

The present perfect tense uses 'have' with the subject 'I'. The structure is subject + have/has + past participle. Since the subject is 'I', we use 'have' (not 'has', which is used with third-person singular).

Among the given options, 'What' is the least incorrect for asking about value or worth, though the sentence structure is awkward and unidiomatic. The construction '____ is life worth?' is grammatically unusual; it would typically be 'What is life worth?' or 'What is the worth of life?'

The definite article 'the' is appropriate when referring to a specific garden (e.g., the garden we're looking at or have mentioned before). Without context, 'the' suggests a particular, known garden rather than any garden.

The indefinite article 'a' is correct because this is the first mention of the garden - it's not a specific, previously identified garden. For first mentions of singular countable nouns beginning with a consonant sound, we use 'a'.

'Hard' is an adverb meaning 'with great effort or intensity'. 'Hardly' is also an adverb but means 'barely' or 'scarcely' - the opposite of what's intended here. Students must put forth effort, so 'hard' is correct.

The indefinite article 'a' is correct because 'star' is used in a generic sense here - the sun is one of many stars in the universe. We use 'a' (not 'an') because 'star' begins with a consonant sound, and we don't use 'the' because we're not referring to a unique, specific star.

Frogs make a 'croaking' sound, so 'croak' is the correct verb. 'Hiss' is for snakes, 'bray' for donkeys, and 'houl' appears to be a misspelling (likely 'howl', which is for wolves/dogs).

The sentence requires the present perfect tense ('has + past participle'). 'Gone' is the past participle of 'go', making 'Gopal has gone to Mumbai' grammatically correct. 'Went' is simple past tense, so 'has went' is incorrect. 'Go' is base form, and 'going' is present participle - neither works with 'has'.

The past tense of 'bid' (to say goodbye) is 'bade'. This is an irregular verb where the past tense form changes from 'bid' to 'bade'. Options like 'bid' (present tense), 'will bade' (incorrect future form), and 'biding' (incorrect spelling of present participle) are grammatically wrong.

 After the auxiliary verb 'has', past participle form 'taken' is used.

Simple past tense 'gave' is required here because the sentence describes a completed action in the past. 'Give' is present tense, 'giving' is present participle, and 'given' is past participle - none fit the simple past context.

'Stole' is the simple past tense of 'steal', which fits the context of describing a completed past action. 'Steal' is present tense, 'stolen' is past participle (needs 'has/have'), and 'stealing' is present participle - all grammatically incorrect here.

He 'had drunk' before he 'spoke'.
