Instructions say: 1 - ¿De quién es? Answer each question affirmatively using the correct possessive adjective.

this one is correct: Q: ¿Son los papeles de la profesora? A: Si, son sus papeles.

This next one keeps getting marked wrong. I don't know why?

Q:¿Son los lápices de ustedes? A: Si, son sus lápices.

¿Son los lápices de ustedes? A: Si, son sus lápices.

"Are the pencils yours?"

The answerer would say "Yes, they are our pencils."

"Sí, son nuestros lápices."

Thanks. I had trouble with this at first because I thought it was asking "Are the pencils theirs"? How would they have written that question? - RachelC, Jul 1, 2012
"¿Son los lápices de ellos?" Literally, "Are the pencils of them?". Translated as "Are the pencils theirs?" - Noetol, Jul 2, 2012

Never mind... got it:

¿Son los lápices de ustedes? Sí, son nuestros lápices.
