To correctly complete the sentence, the words "anyone's" and "hers" should be used.
Almost anyone's work would be better than hers.
To understand this, let's break it down:
- "Anyone's" is a possessive pronoun indicating that the work belongs to anyone, showing possession with an apostrophe ('s).
- "Hers" is a possessive pronoun used to indicate that the work does not belong to the person being referred to, showing possession without using an apostrophe.
By using "anyone's" and "hers" in the sentence, we demonstrate that almost any person's work would be superior to the work of the person referred to as "hers."
