Pronouns Practice Quiz

The correct answer is "it." This sentence describes an inanimate object (the package), making "it" the correct pronoun. "He," "she," and "they" are inappropriate as they refer to humans or groups of beings, not objects. The use of "it" correctly aligns with the subject being an object, adhering to standard English usage where "it" denotes non-living things.

The correct answer is "they." This refers to a group (teachers), requiring a plural pronoun. "They" correctly identifies the group as the subject performing the action (organized), matching the plural verb "did." "He," "she," and "it" are singular pronouns and would inaccurately imply that only one teacher was involved.

The correct answer is "Who." This question seeks the subject of the action (wants to go to the movie). "Who" directly asks about the person involved, aligning with the interrogative nature of the sentence where the subject's identity is in question. "Whom," "Whose," and "Which" do not fit as they address objects of verbs, possession, and selecting among known options, respectively.

The correct answer is "it." Referring to a cat, "it" is often used when the gender of the animal is unknown or when speaking generally. Although "he" or "she" might also be used if the gender is known, "it" is the most neutral option, avoiding any assumption about the cat's gender, thus maintaining grammatical and contextual appropriateness.

The correct answer is "She." The question seeks a subject pronoun to identify who is responsible. "She" is appropriate because it singularly refers to a female subject, aligning grammatically and contextually with the singular verb "is." "He" would not be grammatically correct if referring to a female. "It" and "they" are incorrect as "it" is used for objects or animals when gender is unknown, and "they" is plural, which mismatches the singular verb.

The correct answer is "it." The pronoun "it" in this context refers to the weather condition, specifically the rain. "He," "she," and "they" do not logically fit as they typically refer to people. Using "it" provides a clear, non-personified reference to the weather, which is consistent with common English usage.

The correct answer is "Whose." This possessive pronoun question asks to whom the book belongs. "Whose" is the correct choice for indicating possession. "Who," "Whom," and "Which" do not express possession, making them inappropriate for this query. "Whose" specifically addresses ownership, fitting seamlessly into the query structure.

The correct answer is "Who." This question asks about the identity of callers, requiring a pronoun that introduces questions about people. "Who" is used for asking about subjects, whereas "What," "Which," and "Where" are not suitable as they refer to objects, choices among known options, and places, respectively.

The correct answer is "Whom." This question pertains to the object of the action (give the keys). "Whom" is used because it is the objective case of "who," fitting the requirement for a pronoun that serves as the object of the verb in the sentence. "Who," "Whose," and "Which" are grammatically incorrect as they do not serve as objects in such contexts.

The correct answer is "it." This question addresses the giving of details, presumably by a manager who has just been mentioned, thus requiring a pronoun that reflects gender neutrality or unknown gender in formal contexts. "It" is typically not used for people but fits the need for a placeholder in the sentence structure without specifying gender, focusing instead on the action of giving details.
