In this sentence, we are speaking about the 'family' which is a collective noun. Collective nouns may take singular or plural pronouns, based on whether they refer to the group as a single unit or to each member of the group individually. Here, we are referring to every member of the family working hard. So, we need to use a singular pronoun. Hence, the correct answer is B) Their heads.

Maya Bajaj answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option C, "which."
The word or phrase that best completes the sentence is "which."
"A letterbox is a narrow opening in a door through which mail is delivered."
Explanation:
In this sentence, the word "which" is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the noun "opening." The relative clause "mail is delivered" describes the purpose or function of the opening.
In English grammar, relative clauses are introduced by relative pronouns or relative adverbs. In this case, "which" is a relative pronoun that refers to the noun "opening" and connects the relative clause to the main clause of the sentence.
The word "which" is used to refer to things or objects. In this sentence, it refers to the "opening" in the door. The relative clause "mail is delivered" provides more information about the opening and explains its purpose.
Other options:
- Option A, "it," is not the best choice because it does not properly connect the relative clause to the main clause of the sentence. The sentence would be grammatically incorrect if "it" were used in this context.
- Option B, "that," could also be a possible choice, but "which" is more commonly used in this type of sentence structure.
- Option D, "where," does not properly connect the relative clause to the main clause. "Where" is typically used to refer to a place, not an opening in a door.
Overall, option C, "which," is the best choice because it properly introduces the relative clause and connects it to the main clause, providing additional information about the opening in the door.
The correct answer is option C, "which."
The word or phrase that best completes the sentence is "which."
"A letterbox is a narrow opening in a door through which mail is delivered."

In this sentence, the word "which" is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the noun "opening." The relative clause "mail is delivered" describes the purpose or function of the opening.

Jaya Desai answered |
The error in the sentence is at the underlined point: "but only she came out with a bag of purchases."
Explanation:
In the original sentence, the pronoun "she" is used to refer to one of the two ladies who walked into the shop. However, the context suggests that only one lady came out with a bag of purchases, implying that the other lady did not make any purchases. Therefore, the correct pronoun to use in this case is "they," as it refers to both ladies.
Here is a breakdown of the provided answer options:
a) NO CHANGE: This option keeps the original sentence as it is, including the incorrect pronoun "she."
b) the fair-haired lady: This option replaces the pronoun "she" with the noun phrase "the fair-haired lady." While this change is grammatically correct, it does not address the error in the sentence.
c) the lady: This option replaces the pronoun "she" with the noun phrase "the lady." However, this change also fails to address the error, as it still suggests that only one lady made purchases.
d) they: This option replaces the pronoun "she" with the pronoun "they." This is the correct choice because it accurately reflects the fact that both ladies walked into the shop, but only one of them made purchases.
In conclusion, option B is the correct answer as it addresses the error in the sentence by replacing the pronoun "she" with the pronoun "they."

Since the reference is to an event, which means something inanimate, hence third person singular neuter pronoun "it" should be used. Therefore the sentence requires no change. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

Sreemoyee Das answered |
Answer:
The correct sentence is:
Jack informed Henry that his coat was missing a button.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, Jack is informing Henry about a missing button on his coat. The pronoun "his" is used to show that the missing button belongs to Henry.
The pronoun "his" is the possessive form of the pronoun "he" and is used to indicate ownership or possession by a male singular noun. In this case, "his" is used to show that the missing button belongs to Henry.
Option b) "Henrys" is the correct answer as it correctly shows possession by adding an apostrophe and an "s" to the proper noun "Henry." This form of possessive noun is used to show that something belongs to Henry.
Option a) "NO CHANGE" is incorrect because it does not modify the possessive form of the noun "Henry." Without any modification, the sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
Option c) "their" is incorrect because it is a plural pronoun and cannot be used to show possession by a singular noun. It would be grammatically incorrect to say "their coat" to refer to Henry's coat.
Option d) "the mans" is incorrect because it uses the definite article "the" before the noun "mans," which is not grammatically correct. Additionally, it does not show possession by Henry specifically, but rather implies possession by any man.
Therefore, option b) "Henrys" is the correct answer as it properly modifies the noun "Henry" to show possession.
The correct sentence is:

Shalini Iyer answered |
Explanation:
Understanding the context:
When Mary said to the dog, "Stop wagging your tail", the sentence implies that the dog was already wagging its tail.
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option 'C': it, its.
Explanation:
When Mary said to the dog to stop wagging its tail, the dog actually started wagging its tail faster. This is because animals, especially dogs, often interpret commands differently, and in this case, the dog might have perceived Mary's words as encouragement rather than a command to stop. Therefore, the dog increased the speed of wagging its tail in response.
Conclusion:
In this scenario, the dog's behavior can be understood as a common reaction among animals when they interpret commands differently from humans. It is essential to consider the perspective and understanding of animals when giving them commands or instructions.

Shivani Banerjee answered |
The statement at the underlined point is "anythinghewanted," which is a combination of two words without any space or punctuation. This is a clear error in the sentence. The correct word should be "anything he wanted," indicating that the brothers had the ability to afford anything that they desired.
Option C, "they," is the best choice for correcting this error. By replacing "anythinghewanted" with "anything he wanted," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.
- The sentence should be revised as follows: "The brothers, whose father was a millionaire, could afford anything he wanted."
By choosing option C, the sentence is corrected, and it now expresses that the brothers, with their wealthy father, had the means to acquire anything they desired.

Mayank Iyer answered |
The given sentence is correct as it is written. No correction is needed.
Explanation:
The sentence states that working with animals requires sensitivity to their complex behavior and emotions. The use of the word "their" is appropriate here because it is a possessive pronoun that shows ownership or belonging. In this case, it shows that the behavior and emotions being referred to belong to the animals.
Option A ("theyre") is incorrect as it is a contraction of "they are" and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
Option B ("his") is incorrect because it implies that the animals being referred to are all male, which may not be the case. Using "his" would limit the scope to only male animals.
Option C ("its") is incorrect because it implies that the behavior and emotions being referred to belong to something other than the animals. "Its" is a possessive pronoun used for singular nouns or objects, but in this case, we are talking about multiple animals.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D ("NO CHANGE"), as the original sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

There is no need to change the underlined word "hisroom" as it is already correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option D: NO CHANGE.

Amit Kumar answered |
Pronouns are words that replace nouns that have been mentioned before, to avoid repetition. There are many types of pronouns, one of them being the reflexive pronoun. A compound personal pronoun is formed by adding -self to personal pronouns my, your, him, her and -selves for plural pronouns your, our, them and so on. When an action done by the subject turns back (reflects) upon the subject, that compound personal pronoun is called a reflexive pronoun. In the given sentence, "The rich lady" is a subject as it performs an action "sat", she sat alone for some time, the term 'by+reflexive pronoun' means 'with no one else present'. Option A is correct, as the rich lady is of the feminine gender, 'her' is a personal pronoun suitable for her and 'herself' is the suitable reflexive pronoun that completes the phrase 'by herself'. Option B is incorrect, as 'himself' is used for the masculine gender, whereas the lady is mentioned here. Option C is incorrect as 'themselves' refers to a plural noun, whereas the 'lady' is a singular noun. Option D is incorrect, 'yourself' is from the second person point of view, it refers to the listener with whom the speaker is speaking, whereas 'lady' is in the third person point of view.

Shilpa Choudhury answered |
A possessive pronoun is required to indicate that the wheel is the possession of the cycle. Since it is an inanimate object, possessive form of it should be used without apostrophe, that is, "its". "It's" is the shortened form of "it is". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

Shilpa Choudhury answered |
An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands (ante = "before"). The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. Here, the antecedent is 'London' which is a singular noun. Hence, we need a singular pronoun, 'It'. 'One' is also a singular pronoun but it refers to people, not places.

The pronoun is used in place of a noun. Here, the noun is 'the car', so the pronoun that can replace it is B) it. ('They' is incorrect because 'they' refers to living things and plural nouns. 'Its' is also wrong because 'its' refers to the possessive case.)

Shilpa Choudhury answered |
A noun or pronoun is said to be in the subjective/nominative when it is used as the subject of the sentence. Here, the noun 'Jacob' and the pronoun is in the subjective case as it is the subject of the verb 'walked'. Hence, we need to use the pronoun 'I' instead of 'me' because 'I' is a subjective case pronoun whereas 'me' is an objective case pronoun, which has been incorrectly used.

The use of the pronoun 'she' in this sentence is ambiguous because it is unclear whether 'she' refers to Helen or Helen's mother. To avoid confusion, the pronoun should be replaced with the noun 'Helen', making it clear who is being referred to. Therefore, the correct answer is option b) Helen.
