Answer 6

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, the word "theirs" is used correctly to indicate possession by multiple people or entities. It is a pronoun used to show that something belongs to a group of people, typically used in the phrase "It is theirs."

To determine if a word is used correctly in a sentence, you can consider the context and the grammatical rules. In this case, "theirs" is a possessive pronoun which is used to show ownership. As long as the sentence contextually makes sense, and the word "theirs" is used in the appropriate place, then it is said correctly.
