Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: get off my
Key Points
- The correct preposition to use in this context is "off".
- "Get of mine" and "get off mine" are incorrect because "mine" is a possessive pronoun and cannot be used as an object of a preposition.
- The correct possessive pronoun to use is "my" because the speaker is referring to their own couch.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Corrected sentence: Please ask the dog to get off my couch.
Additional Information
- "get of mine" is grammatically incorrect because it uses the wrong preposition and the wrong possessive pronoun.
- "get off mine" is also grammatically incorrect because it uses the wrong possessive pronoun.
- "No substitution" is not applicable because the underlined segment needs to be corrected.
