    • Childs

    • Child

    • Children

    Correct Answer
    A. Children
    Explanation

    5. (Him, He, His) set about developing a stronger strain of lactic acid bacteria which would work to destroy the harmful bacteria living in the intestines, and therefore improve and maintain the health of human beings.

    • Him

    • He

    • His

    Correct Answer
    A. He
    Explanation
    The pronoun "He" is the correct answer because it refers to a singular male subject, which in this case is the person who set about developing a stronger strain of lactic acid bacteria. "Him" is incorrect because it is an object pronoun and cannot be used as the subject of a sentence. "His" is also incorrect because it is a possessive pronoun and does not fit grammatically in this sentence.
