Maria is one of our specialists.

Completion: Maria is a specialist. (This shortens the sentence while keeping the same meaning.)
A friend of mine has signed a new trade agreement.

Completion 1: One of my friends (This emphasizes that you have multiple friends.)
Completion 2: (Your friend's name) has signed a new trade agreement. (This personalizes the sentence if you know the friend's name.)
Tom stood behind me in a line to get on the bus.

Completion: I stood in front of Tom in a line to get on the bus. (This reverses the perspective to show your position relative to Tom.)
There's a school across from our house.

Completion: There is a school across from our house. (This is the grammatically correct way to start the sentence with "There is" for singular subjects like "school".)
Can I borrow one of your smartphones, Daddy?

Completion: Can I borrow your smartphone, Daddy? (This shortens the sentence and avoids the possessive pronoun "your" being redundant with "Daddy".)
