Our neighbor’s house is very large.
Our house is much smaller than (1) .
The correct answers is (1) theirs.
Since “neighbor” is a singular form, I thought the answer of (1) was his/hers.
Is the reason because “neighbor” in the sentence refers to a neighbor family but plural family members are presumed?
Do you usually use “they” for “a neighbor” when you don't care about the exact number?
Thanks in advance.
