Answer 3

Pienso que número cuatro es “para ti.”

Answer 4

Woah! Wait a minute! Yes, the other tutors have talked about #4--should be "para ti." HOWEVER, I am surprised that #3 was not even mentioned! "La iglesia está cerca de mi casa." You wrote "mí" as the answer. Nope, I'm sorry. Are you a house (casa)? Didn't think so. The prepositional pronoun is replacing the OBJECT of the preposition "de," which is "mi casa." "CASA" is the base object of the preposition--not "mi"="my" (possessive adjective). Therefore, casa = "ella" (singular and feminine, 3rd person). The correct answer is "ella" NOT "mí."
