Pronouns Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "My name is Sonia. ___ love my family."?

    • A.

      He

    • B.

      I

    • C.

      She

    • D.

      We

    Correct Answer
    B. I
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I." The pronoun "I" is a first-person singular subject pronoun used by the speaker to refer to themselves. In this sentence, Sonia is talking about her own emotions and actions, making "I" the necessary pronoun to express her personal connection and love towards her family.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "I met Sonia yesterday. ___ made me laugh."?

    • A.

      It

    • B.

      Her

    • C.

      She

    • D.

      Them

    Correct Answer
    C. She
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "She." In this sentence, "She" refers directly to Sonia, a previously introduced female subject. The use of "She" as a subject pronoun is appropriate here because it maintains the subject's continuity and clearly attributes the action of making someone laugh specifically to Sonia.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "On the left, you can see Simon. ___ is my brother."?

    • A.

      That

    • B.

      He

    • C.

      It

    • D.

      Him

    Correct Answer
    B. He
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He." This pronoun is used to continue referring to Simon, a male subject previously mentioned. "He" serves as a subject pronoun in this sentence, linking the statement that Simon is the speaker's brother directly to Simon himself, emphasizing his identity and relationship to the speaker.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "Birds flap ___ wings."?

    • A.

      It

    • B.

      His

    • C.

      Their

    • D.

      Them

    Correct Answer
    C. Their
    Explanation
    The correct pronoun is "their" because it is the possessive pronoun that agrees with the plural noun "birds." Birds collectively own their wings, so "their" shows the correct ownership. The other options are incorrect because "its" is singular and possessive, "his" is singular, masculine, and possessive, and "them" is a plural objective pronoun, not possessive.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "My grandparents live in Mumbai. ___ visit us often."?

    • A.

      Them

    • B.

      They

    • C.

      Their

    • D.

      He

    Correct Answer
    B. They
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They." This plural subject pronoun refers back to "grandparents," also a plural noun. The use of "They" is grammatically necessary to denote that the subject performing the action of visiting is the grandparents. It highlights the frequent nature of their visits, emphasizing regular interaction.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "Look outside. ___ is my car parked over there! The gray one."?

      This

    • B.

      That

    • C.

      Those

    • D.

      Their

    Correct Answer
    B. That
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "That." "That" is a demonstrative pronoun used here to specify a particular object (the car) among others, possibly at a slight distance. It helps the speaker point out and identify their car to someone else, distinguishing it from other potential objects in view.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What would the correct pronoun be: "Why have you not sent the report? ___ was your responsibility."?

    • A.

      It

    • B.

      Those

    • C.

      Its

    • D.

      Them

    Correct Answer
    A. It
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "It." "It" refers to the report, a non-living object, and is used to highlight the subject of responsibility. The pronoun "It" in this context emphasizes the report's role in the discussion, questioning why the expected action (sending the report) was not completed, given that it was the person's responsibility.

    • C.

      He

    • D.

      These

    Correct Answer
    D. These
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "These." "These" is a demonstrative pronoun used for indicating specific objects close to the speaker or within sight. In this context, it is used to clarify that the keys being discussed (and are near or visible at the moment) do not belong to the speaker.

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

      She

    • B.

      I

    • C.

      They

    • D.

      These

    Correct Answer
    B. I

    The correct answer is "I." As a first-person singular pronoun, "I" is used when the speaker refers to themselves. This sentence reflects self-motivation and personal accountability, indicating that the speaker acknowledges the need for increased effort to achieve their aspirations.

      He

    • D.

      Him

    Correct Answer
    C. He
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He." The use of "He" here refers to another male subject, likely discussed in a previous part of the conversation. This pronoun is crucial for maintaining the continuity of the subject through the sentence, linking the action (not coming) and reason (soccer practice) directly to the same person.

      You

    • C.

      She

    • D.

      He

    Correct Answer
    D. He
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He." This sentence implies a hypothetical scenario about a male subject referred to with the possessive "his." The pronoun "He" is required to maintain subject consistency within the sentence, linking the financial capability directly to the male subject and the consequences for his girlfriend.

      He

    C. She
