選択肢の解説Choice Analysis
「His」
正解前文「I have a brother (兄弟)」で男性が登場、続けて「（ ）name is Tom」は brother の名前。男性の所有格 his が正解。所有格 his / her / your / my はすべて「〜の」だが、性別と人称で使い分け: he → his (彼の)、she → her (彼女の)、I → my (私の)、you → your (あなたの)。
「Your」
= あなたの ━ 話し相手 (you) の所有格、文脈で brother は he。
「My」
= 私の ━ 私 (I) の所有格、brother の名前は私の名前ではない。
「Her」
= 彼女の ━ 女性 (she) の所有格、brother は男性。

💡Tip · 覚えるコツ
所有格の整理 (5級必修) ━ ★ my (私の) / your (あなたの) / his (彼の) / her (彼女の) / its (それの) / our (我々の) / their (彼らの) ━ 必ず後ろに名詞、所有代名詞 (mine/yours/his/hers/ours/theirs) は単独で使う。his は所有格と所有代名詞が同形。
