yes

Yes

To determine if the word in parentheses is a possessive pronoun, we need to understand what a possessive pronoun is. A possessive pronoun is a pronoun that shows ownership or possession of something. In this sentence, the word in parentheses is "his."

To confirm if "his" is a possessive pronoun, we can ask ourselves if it is indicating ownership. In this case, "his" is showing possession because it tells us that the watch belongs to Dad. Therefore, "his" is indeed a possessive pronoun.

So the correct answer is: Yes.
