The question is asking where the speaker's books are located, based on the information given about the other person's books.
The answer choices are:
a. los tuyos - "yours"
b. los míos - "mine"
c. los suyos - "theirs/yours (formal)"
d. los de ellos - "theirs"
In this case, since the speaker is referring to their own books, the correct answer would be "b. los míos" which translates to "mine."
The question is asking where the speaker's books are located, and the person being asked needs to complete the sentence by selecting the correct pronoun to refer to their books. Here are the answer choices explained:
a. los tuyos - This means "yours" (referring to the person being asked) and is incorrect because it would mean the person's books are on the nightstand.
b. los míos - This means "mine" (referring to the person being asked) and is the correct answer because it indicates that the person's books are on the nightstand.
c. los suyos - This means "his/hers" (referring to a third person) and is incorrect because it would mean someone else's books are on the nightstand.
d. los de ellos - This means "theirs" (referring to a third person) and is incorrect because it would mean someone else's books are on the nightstand.
Therefore, the correct answer is "b. los míos" to complete the sentence: "___ están en la mesa de noche." (Mine are on the nightstand.)
