Answer (1)
This question is about choosing the correct pronoun to fit each sentence. Pronouns are words that replace nouns in a sentence and help to avoid repetition. Let's look at each sentence:
The bug moves slowly as ______ climbs the branch.
The correct pronoun is 'it' because 'bug' is a singular noun and typically replaced with 'it'.
______ need to buy supplies for the new school year.
The correct pronoun is 'we' if referring to the speaker and others needing supplies.
______ wants to clean the dirty bathroom!
The correct pronoun is 'no one' suggesting that nobody wants to do that task.
The bird picked up a twig, and then used ______ to build a nest.
The correct pronoun is 'it' as the sentence refers to a singular object, 'twig'.
Hareem helped the teacher clean the desks, and ______ also helped to wipe the board.
The correct pronoun is 'she' if referring to Hareem, who is usually female.
The girls bought presents and ______ are ready for the upcoming birthday party.
The correct pronoun is 'they' for referring to 'the girls', who are plural.
By understanding the subject and whether it is singular or plural, and determining if it is referring to people or objects, the appropriate pronoun can be selected.
