3.  Rosa and Oliver have been married for twenty years. ............... travel to Paris every year.

Explanation

“They’re” is the contracted way of saying “they are”. In this sentence, someone is referring to a group of people, stating “they are” my relatives.

We need an objective pronoun after the preposition 'of,' and it should be plural because the sentence begins with 'one of.'

Submit
8. Patrick drives ................... to school. We like riding on his bus.

Explanation

We need a subject pronoun for the question. Remember that we use the pronoun 'you' to address one person or more than one. The second part of the sentence illustrates the subject is “you.”

Submit

Explanation

"You" is the second person singular pronoun. It is used when referring to the person or people being addressed. In this case, the speaker is directly addressing someone or a group of people.

Submit
13. I like _____ advice. It is interesting.

Explanation

"Your" is the possessive form of the second-person singular pronoun "you." It is used to show that the advice belongs to the person being addressed.

Submit

Submit
15. Ray loves you very much. Do ............... love .................... too?

Explanation

We need a subject pronoun and then an object pronoun. 'Ray' is a male name. The correct answer is “you” to match the “you” in the first sentence, and the only possible match is “him” because Ray is singular. 

Submit
16. Let's watch the match at ................... house. We cannot watch it at mine, since my parents sold our TV. 

Explanation

We need a possessive adjective before the noun 'house'. Choices A, B and C are wrong because the second sentence clearly illustrates the speaker is asking to watch the match at the other person’s house.

Submit
17. The bird lost some of ............... feathers.

Explanation

The correct possessive form is "its." "It" is a pronoun, "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has," and "their" is a plural possessive pronoun. The sentence should read, "The bird lost some of its feathers."

Submit
18. A frog throws up ................ stomach first.

Explanation

The correct possessive pronoun to use here is "its." "Its" is the possessive form of "it," indicating that the stomach belongs to the frog. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" and doesn't fit the sentence's meaning.
