Reciprocal Pronoun
0%
Possessive Pronoun
0%
Adjectival Pronoun
Explanation
There are five kinds of pronouns-
Personal pronouns (e.g., he, they)
Demonstrative pronouns (e.g., this, these)
Interrogative pronouns (e.g., which, who)
Indefinite pronouns (e.g., none, several)
Possessive pronouns (e.g., his, your)
Reciprocal pronouns (e.g., each other, one another)
As Adjectival Pronoun is not a type of pronoun, option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C are incorrect.

Report Question

0%
himself
Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g.
I
,
you
) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g.
she
,
it
,
this
). In the options given:
"Herself", "Themselves" and "Himself" are reflexive pronoun.
Reflexive
pronouns
are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in
myself
). This is a wrong choice.
"Each other" is a reciprocal pronoun. We use
the
reciprocal
We use
the
reciprocal
pronouns "each other"
and one another when two or more people do
the
same thing. Traditionally,
each other
refers to two people and one another refers to more than two people, but this distinction is disappearing in modern English. In this sentence, two persons are present which makes option B correct.
Option B is correct.
State whether true or false.
The below-mentioned sentence is grammatically correct.
None of the fruit were eaten. [Basic]
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
In formal styles, we use "none of"
with a singular verb when it is the subject. Hence, the verb would be "was" and the sentence is grammatically incorrect and Option B is appropriate.
State whether true or false.
The below-mentioned sentence is grammatically correct.
None of the cake is baked. [Intermediate]
Report Question
0%
True
0%
False
Explanation
In formal styles, we use "none of"
with a singular verb when it is the subject. Hence, the verb would remain "is" and the sentence is grammatically correct and Option A is appropriate.
Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
"Is ____________ book John's?"
"Yes, ___________ is."
Report Question
0%
These / it
0%
This / it
0%
It / it's
0%
That / its
Explanation
A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse
. In the first sentence, a determiner is required which can point towards the book. "This" and "That" are words that are used as determiners.
In the second sentence, the book is the subject and it is referred in pronoun form.
The correct answer for the second blank should be "it". "
Its"
is the possessive of "it". "It's" means "it is". Thus, "it" is the correct answer for second sentence.
Option B is the correct answer.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"How old is your aunt?"
"_________ is 29".
Report Question
0%
She
0%
He
0%
She's
0%
He's
Explanation
Personal pronouns take the place of specific nouns that name people, places and things.
In the given sentence 'the aunt' is being talked about.
Since she is a female person, we must use 'she'.
Thus option A is the correct answer.
We can thus eliminate options B and D as incorrect.
She's is the short form of she is. But the be verb is already mentioned in the sentence. So, option c is also incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate pronoun:
It was raining cats and dogs and we didn't enjoy ______.

ourselves.
Explanation
In language, a
reflexive pronoun
, sometimes simply called a
reflexive
, is a pronoun
that is preceded or followed by the noun, adjective, adverb or pronoun to which it refers
within the same clause. This is a sentence where we require a reflexive pronoun. In this this sentence a group is present and it is also in first person. This is understandable from the word "we".
himself and herself is used as a third person
themselves are used when a group is present while indicating in third person
ourselves is used when a group is present while indication is made in first person.

Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun. This particular sentence, is in the first person so the blank would contain a pronoun in the first person and in group.
"They" is used while referring to a group in third person
"He" is used while referring to a particular person in third person
"We" is used while referring to a group in the first person
"Us" i
s also a pronoun used in the first person when in group, but it's not a
subject
pronoun. Us in an object pronoun that can be used as the object of a preposition or the object of a verb. This sentence requires a subject pronoun. It is the wrong option
Option C is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The clerk is speaking to the women. He is talking to _______.
Report Question

they
0%
him
0%
he
Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun.
Them
can be used as an indirect object pronoun. An indirect object refers to a third participant in the action described by the verb, often someone who receives something as a result of it.
In the second sentence above,
them
is the indirect object and presents is the direct object. Thus Option A is correct.
"Him" and "He" are the wrong options as they can only be used for male genders and when present singly and not in group which is not the case in here.
They
is used to refer to the subject of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the ‘doers’ of the action described by the verb, and usually refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. This is not the case in the given sentence. It is the wrong option
Option A is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"What is __________ name?" "My name's Carlos."

Explanation
A
possessive adjective
is usually used to
describe
a noun, and it comes
before
the noun, like other adjectives. T
hey describe who something belongs to.
The given sentence is a dialogue between two persons.
So, a second person pronoun must be used.
The possessive adjective for the second person singular 'you' is 'your'.
'My' is the possessive adjective for first person.
'His' and 'Her' are the possessive adjectives for third persons.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
Options A,B,D are incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
This is my sister. _________ name is Laura.

Explanation
Pronouns are used in place of a noun that has already been mentioned or that is already known, often to avoid repeating the noun.
Option C is the correct answer because it is used in place of the noun 'sister' which has already been mentioned. 'Her' is used
to mean belonging to or associated with a female person previously mentioned or easily identified.
Options A, B and D are incorrect because 'his' is used t
o mean belonging to or associated with a male person previously mentioned or easily identified, 'my' is used to refer to something belonging to associated with the speaker and 'its' is used to refer to something
belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned or easily identified.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

A

is usually used to
describe
a noun, and it comes
before
the noun, like other adjectives. T
hey describe who something belongs to.
The given sentence is a question which is being asked to another person.
So, a second person pronoun must be used.
The possessive adjective for the second person singular 'you' is 'your'.
'You' and 'he' are personal pronouns. 'Yours' is a possessive pronoun.
Thus option C is the correct answer.

In language, a
reflexive pronoun
, sometimes simply called a
reflexive
, is a pronoun
that is preceded or followed by the noun, adjective, adverb or pronoun to which it refers
within the same clause. This is a sentence where we require a reflexive pronoun. Now, a group is present which is understandable from the first word of the sentence. The answer is "them selves"

Explanation
A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse
. In the first half of the sentence a name has been mentioned who has been mentioned again in the second sentence with the help of a pronoun. The pronoun is what we need to use to fill the blank. Now, the pronoun needs to be in third person and female form as "Amanda" is the name of a woman. "I" is in the first person. "He" is in the third person but is in male gender. "His" is the possessive form of "He". "She" is in third person and female gender. This is the correct answer.
Option B is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Report Question

0%
our
0%
ours
0%
we
Explanation
A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. In this sentence, we require a determiner which can be used to mention the washed hands.
"Us" is a pronoun which is used as an object when the sentence is in the first person and in a group.
"Our" is a determiner
"Ours" is the possessive form of "our"
"We" is a pronoun similar to "us" but used as a subject
Option B is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

0%
them
Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse
. In this sentence, the pronoun we would be using is to address the keys. Now, "keys" is neutral and in plural form so the pronoun used would be "them". "It" is also used in case of neutral nouns but when it is singular in nature.
Option D is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun. In this particular case, the noun that has been pointed to in the second sentence is milk. Milk is a neutral noun thus, we would indicate milk with "it".
They is used when there are a group of nouns that needs to be indicated
it is used for neutral nouns
them is a possessive pronoun used for a group
its is again a possessive pronoun of "it"
Option B is correct.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun.
That is used while referring to one particular noun and they act as a determiner.
As a determiner that refers to the more distant of two things near to the speaker, or to a specific thing previously mentioned.
In this case, a group is present, it is the wrong option.
Those is
the plural forms of that, and behave in the same way. As a determiner, this is used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being experienced. It is the right option.
This has the same explanation as that of "that". It is the wrong option.
They
is used to refer to the subject of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the ‘doers’ of the action described by the verb, and usually refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. It is the wrong option
Option B is correct

"We" is used while referring to a group in the first person. But it is a subject pronoun. In this sentence we require an object pronoun. This is the wrong option.
"Us" i
s also a pronoun used in the first person when in group, but it's not a
subject
pronoun. Us in an object pronoun that can be used as the object of a preposition or the object of a verb. It is the correct option

A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. In the first half of the sentence, the noun is the group of girls and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used.

Explanation
A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. In the first half of the sentence, the noun is sea and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used. The sea is a neutral noun thus "her" is a wrong option. "Them" and "They"are used when group of nouns are present. Over here a single noun is present thus "it" is the right option.

Explanation
A
word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. In the first half of the sentence, the noun is the "the shoes" and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used. The noun is neutral thus pronoun used should not be gender specific. This eliminates "him". Shoes are always present in pairs. "its" can be used when the noun is present singly. It is wrong.
They
is used to refer to the subject of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the ‘doers’ of the action described by the verb, and usually refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. It is the wrong option
Them
is used to refer to the object of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the group of people or things that have ‘experienced’ the action described by the verb, and refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. This is the right option.

A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun. In this sentence, there are two nouns present, which means they are present in a group.
They
is used to refer to the subject of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the ‘doers’ of the action described by the verb, and usually refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. It is the wrong option.
Its is the positive form of "it". Again "it" is not used in case of groups.
Them
is used to refer to the object of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the group of people or things that have ‘experienced’ the action described by the verb, and refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier

Explanation
A
reflexive pronoun
is normally used when the object of a sentence is the same as the subject. In this particular sentence, personal
pronoun, "she"
has its own
reflexive
form (which is the blank).
himself is the reflexive form of "he"/ male gender
herself is the reflexive form of "she/ female gender"
her is not a reflexive pronoun instead it is a personal pronoun when used as an object of the sentence
herselves is a wrong word as the plural of herself becomes "themselves"

Explanation
A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse
or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun.
The indefinite pronoun
everybody
is a singular pronoun, like the pronoun
everyone,
even though conceptually these pronouns represent groups of people. These singular pronouns take singular verbs.
Although it is grammatical to use singular pronouns and possessives to refer back to these pronouns later in a sentence, most people don't. The majority of speakers of American English, except in very formal contexts, will use plural pronouns and possessives, which is "their".
More tradition-minded speakers may stick to singular pronouns and possessives, but these can end up sounding awkward, because English has no singular, gender-neutral pronouns and possessives for people. Therefore, one has to make a choice between the feminine and masculine forms, or use both. Thus, in this case we need to use, his/her, which is not there in the option. Thus, B is the correct answer.
