In terms of representation, what does "your" express?

  1. general ownership

  2. personal belonging

  3. collective rights

  4. mutual agreement

The correct answer is: personal belonging

The correct interpretation of "your" expresses personal belonging. This term specifically denotes ownership that is affiliated with an individual, indicating that something belongs to or is associated with "you." In context, it emphasizes a direct relationship between the possessor and the item or idea being referenced, highlighting the individual's connection and sense of ownership. The other interpretations do not adequately capture this focused meaning. General ownership refers to ownership that's not specific to an individual, collective rights imply shared ownership among a group, and mutual agreement relates to a shared consensus rather than direct possession. Thus, "your" distinctly conveys a sense of personal belonging rather than any of these broader or alternative concepts.
