Divyansh Basu answered


Explanation:

Identifying the Subject and Object:
- In the sentence, "We all told the boss that we wanted to have our salaries paid in advance," the subject is "we" and the object is "salaries."
- The pronoun "our" is used to show possession, indicating that the salaries belong to the subject "we."

Understanding Pronoun Agreement:
- When using pronouns, it is important to ensure agreement between the subject and the object.
- In this case, since the subject "we" refers to a group of people, the possessive pronoun "our" should be used to show that the salaries belong to the group.

Applying Pronoun Agreement in the Sentence:
- Given the options provided, the correct choice is "our, us."
- This choice maintains agreement between the subject "we" and the possessive pronoun "our," while also correctly using the objective pronoun "us" to refer to the group as the object of the sentence.
- Therefore, the sentence should read, "We all told the boss that we wanted to have our salaries paid in advance but he just ignored us."

By ensuring proper pronoun agreement, the sentence maintains clarity and grammatical correctness.

______________cannot see through translucent materials, but light canpass through _______________.
  • a)
    We, it
  • b)
    Anything, their
  • c)
    One, them
  • d)
    No one, its
  • e)
    Everyone, their
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anuj Mukherjee answered
Explanation:

  • Translucent materials: Translucent materials are those materials which allow some light to pass through them, but they distort the images of objects seen through them. Examples of translucent materials include frosted glass, wax paper, and some plastics.

  • We cannot see through translucent materials: As human beings, we cannot see through translucent materials clearly. This is because the light passing through these materials gets scattered in different directions, which distorts the image of the object seen through them. So, we cannot see through them properly.

  • Light can pass through translucent materials: Even though we cannot see through translucent materials clearly, light can pass through them. When light falls on these materials, it gets scattered and refracted in different directions. As a result, some of the light passes through these materials and reaches our eyes. This is why we can see some objects behind translucent materials, but their images may be distorted.

  • Option A is correct: The given statement is true. We as human beings cannot see through translucent materials, but light can pass through them. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

I hope you will enjoy ____________at the re-union party this weekend because I won’t be able to be there _____________.
  • a)
    you, myself
  • b)
    yourself, mine
  • c)
    yours, oneself
  • d)
    yourself, myself
  • e)
    you, me
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

The correct phrase to use in this sentence is "yourself, myself."
"Yourself" is the reflexive pronoun that is used to refer back to the subject of the sentence (in this case, "you"). "Myself" is the reflexive pronoun that is used to refer back to the subject of the sentence (in this case, "I"). The other phrases you provided are not correct in this context.
So, correct answer is option (d).

    ours
  • e)
    each other
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kaavya Das answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'C', which is "by ourselves". Let's understand why this is the correct option:

Meaning of the sentence: The sentence talks about a decision taken by a group of people to cook the food for their party on their own instead of hiring a catering company.

The correct phrase: In the context of the given sentence, the correct phrase to use is "by ourselves", which means that the group of people will do the cooking themselves.

Other options and why they are incorrect:

a) "of our own" - This phrase does not make sense in the given sentence as it doesn't convey the intended meaning.

b) "oneself" - While this is a valid phrase, it is not the best option to use in the given sentence. It implies that each person will cook for themselves, which is not the intended meaning.

d) "ours" - This pronoun is not appropriate in the given sentence as it doesn't convey the intended meaning.

e) "each other" - This phrase does not make sense in the given sentence as it doesn't convey the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct option is "by ourselves".

The neighbourhood ____________they have been living in is some what a dangerous one.
  • a)
    that
  • b)
    in whic​h
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Deepika Tiwari answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' because the word "that" is used as a relative pronoun to refer to a specific noun or noun phrase in the sentence. In this case, "that" is used to refer to the neighborhood.

Relative Pronouns:
Relative pronouns are words that are used to connect a dependent clause (or relative clause) to a main clause. They introduce additional information about a noun or noun phrase in the main clause.

Examples of Relative Pronouns:
- that
- which
- who
- whom
- whose

Usage of "That" as a Relative Pronoun:
In the given sentence, the word "that" is used as a relative pronoun to introduce the dependent clause "they have been living in." The dependent clause provides additional information about the noun phrase "the neighborhood."

Alternative Option 'B':
The alternative option 'B' is "in which." While this option is grammatically correct, it is not the best choice in this context. "In which" is more formal and less commonly used in everyday speech. Option 'A' using the relative pronoun "that" is a more natural and commonly used construction.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, when referring to a specific noun or noun phrase as the subject of a dependent clause, the relative pronoun "that" is commonly used. In the given sentence, the correct answer is option 'A' because "that" is used to introduce the dependent clause that provides additional information about the neighborhood.

    this, its
  • b)
    he, them
  • c)
    she, theirs
  • d)
    that, his
  • e)
    it, their
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanishq Basu answered
Explanation:

Identifying the correct pronouns:
- In this sentence, the pronoun being referred to is "our dog."
- Since we are talking about a dog, the correct pronoun to use is "it."

Matching possessive pronouns:
- The possessive pronoun that matches with "our dog" is "its," as it signifies ownership or belonging.
Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is: "Our dog is of a very good breed as it is the offspring of two very champion dogs and has inherited their features."

__________ two rings here on my little finger belonged to _________ grand mother.
  • a)
    These, my
  • b)
    That, mine
  • c)
    Those, me
  • d)
    The, myself
  • e)
    This, my
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Joshi answered
**Explanation:**

In the given sentence, we are talking about two rings that belong to the speaker's grandmother. Let's analyze the options to determine which one is correct.

a) These, my
The word "these" is used to refer to things that are nearby or within reach. Since the rings are in the possession of the speaker, "these" is appropriate. The phrase "my little finger" further supports this choice. Therefore, option A is correct.

b) That, mine
The word "that" is used to refer to things that are farther away or not within reach. Since the rings are in the possession of the speaker, "that" is not appropriate. Additionally, the phrase "my little finger" suggests proximity. Therefore, option B is incorrect.

c) Those, me
The word "those" is used to refer to multiple things that are farther away or not within reach. Since the rings are in the possession of the speaker, "those" is not appropriate. Additionally, the phrase "my little finger" suggests proximity. The pronoun "me" is incorrect because it should be "myself" in this context. Therefore, option C is incorrect.

d) The, myself
The definite article "the" is used when we are referring to a specific noun. Since we are talking about two rings, the plural form "the" is not appropriate. The pronoun "myself" is incorrect because it should be "my" in this context. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

e) This, my
The word "this" is used to refer to a singular thing that is nearby or within reach. Since we are talking about two rings, "this" is not appropriate. The phrase "my little finger" supports the use of the possessive pronoun "my." Therefore, option E is incorrect.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option A) These, my.

A baby learns the meaning of words as ___________are spoken by others and later uses _______________ in sentences.

    they, themselves
  • d)
    it, them
  • e)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Desai answered
Answer:

To understand the answer, let's break down the given options and analyze each one:

a) their, they
b) they, them
c) they, themselves
d) it, them
e) they, it

The question is about a baby learning the meaning of words and later using those words in sentences. We need to identify the correct pronouns that fit this scenario.

Understanding the scenario:

1. A baby learns the meaning of words as ___________ are spoken by others.
2. Later, the baby uses _______________ in sentences.

Let's fill in the blanks with the given options:

1. A baby learns the meaning of words as they are spoken by others.
2. Later, the baby uses them in sentences.

Explanation:

- Option a) "their, they": This option does not fit the scenario because "their" is a possessive pronoun used to show something belonging to someone. However, in this context, we are talking about the baby learning the meaning of words, not something belonging to them. Additionally, "they" is not the correct pronoun to use when referring to the words spoken by others.

- Option b) "they, them": This option correctly fits the scenario. The baby learns the meaning of words as "they" are spoken by others, and later uses "them" (referring to the words) in sentences.

- Option c) "they, themselves": This option does not fit the scenario because "themselves" is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject of a sentence performs an action on itself. It does not make sense to use "themselves" in this context.

- Option d) "it, them": This option does not fit the scenario because "it" is used to refer to a singular object or animal, not words. Additionally, using "them" to refer to the words would be more appropriate.

- Option e) "they, it": This option does not fit the scenario because "they" should be used to refer to the words spoken by others, not "it." "It" is used to refer to a singular object or animal, not words.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b) "they, them" as it accurately describes a baby learning the meaning of words spoken by others and later using those words in sentences.

You and __________ brother needto take time to prepare ____for the long journey which will start next month.
  • a)
    his, yourself
  • b)
    yours, ourselves
  • c)
    their, you
  • d)
    your, yourselves
  • e)
    her, by themselves
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered

To solve this question, we need to find the correct pronouns to fill in the blanks. Let's analyze the options given:
A: his, yourself
B: yours, ourselves
C: their, you
D: your, yourselves
E: her, by themselves
The correct answer is D: your, yourselves.
Explanation:
- "You and your brother" indicates that the speaker is addressing the person directly and their sibling.
- The possessive pronoun "your" is used to show that the person and their brother need to prepare for the journey.
- The reflexive pronoun "yourselves" is used to show that both the person and their brother need to take time to prepare for the journey.
So, the correct sentence is:
"You and your brother need to take time to prepare yourselves for the long journey which will start next month."
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Although __________in the room seemed to follow ______________said by the speaker, he never intended to simplify his language
  • a)
    no one, anything
  • b)
    anybody, anything
  • c)
    nobody, nothing
  • d)
    anyone, nothing
  • e)
    someone, something
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The sentence given is a complex one, and it can be broken down into smaller parts to understand it better:

Subject + Verb + Object + Connective + Subject + Verb + Object

Although + nobody in the room + seemed to follow + anything said by the speaker, + he + never intended to simplify his language.

Here, the speaker is expressing that although it seemed as if nobody in the room was following anything he said, he never intended to simplify his language.

Now, let's look at the options:

a) no one, anything - This option is the correct answer because "nobody" is a synonym of "no one", and "anything" is a synonym of "what he said". Therefore, the sentence makes sense with this option.

b) anybody, anything - This option doesn't fit because "anybody" implies that at least one person was following what the speaker said, but the sentence says nobody was following.

c) nobody, nothing - This option has the same problem as option b. "Nobody" implies that at least one person was following what the speaker said, but the sentence says nobody was following.

d) anyone, nothing - This option doesn't fit because "anyone" implies that at least one person was following what the speaker said, but the sentence says nobody was following.

e) someone, something - This option doesn't fit because "someone" implies that at least one person was following what the speaker said, but the sentence says nobody was following.

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) no one, anything.

Thousands of children nowadays prefer doing _________homework with a background of pop-music to doing _______________in a quiet room.
  • a)
    theirs, them
  • b)
    his, its
  • c)
    them, it’s
  • d)
    they, them
  • e)
    their, it
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?


To solve this question, we need to determine the correct pronouns to fill in the blanks. Let's analyze the options provided:
A:
theirs, them

B:
his, its

C:
them, it’s

D:
they, them

E:
their, it

We can eliminate options A, B, C, and D because they use incorrect pronouns or inconsistent forms. Now let's focus on option E.
Option E uses the correct pronouns and maintains consistency. Here's the breakdown:
- "Thousands of children nowadays prefer doing their homework with a background of pop-music": This uses the possessive pronoun "their" to indicate that the homework belongs to the children.
- "to doing it in a quiet room": This uses the pronoun "it" to refer back to the homework.
Therefore, the correct answer is E: their, it.

  • c)
    our, this

    my, these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikhil and Shikha, ________ got married about a year ago, recently bought a new house.
  • a)
    that
  • b)
    who
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anand thakur answered
Understanding the Correct Answer
In the sentence provided, the correct option is 'who' because it serves to introduce a defining relative clause about Nikhil and Shikha. Here’s a breakdown of why 'who' is appropriate:
Defining Relative Clauses
- A defining relative clause provides essential information about the noun it follows.
- In this case, "who got married about a year ago" gives important context about Nikhil and Shikha.
Usage of "that" vs. "who"
- "Who" is specifically used for people, while "that" can refer to both people and things but is less preferred in formal writing when referring to individuals.
- Since Nikhil and Shikha are both people, "who" is the more appropriate choice.
Sentence Structure
- The full sentence reads: "Nikhil and Shikha, who got married about a year ago, recently bought a new house."
- This structure maintains clarity and indicates that the clause is adding information about the couple.
Conclusion
- Using "who" enhances the sentence's readability and correctness.
- Therefore, the best answer to fill in the blank is 'who'.
Using clear and precise language is essential in writing, especially when describing individuals. Understanding when to use "who" versus "that" can significantly improve your writing skills.

They decided to buy the house because______________location would allow ___________to getto work very easily.
  • a)
    theirs, them
  • b)
    it, themselves
  • c)
    its, them
  • d)
    they, us
  • e)
    its, their
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Juhi Kumar answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'C' because the pronouns 'its' and 'them' match the antecedents in the sentence.

Antecedents:
- 'They' refers to the people who decided to buy the house.
- 'The house' refers to the object being bought.

Matching pronouns:
- 'Its' refers to the house (singular).
- 'Them' refers to the people (plural).

Explanation of the sentence:
The sentence states that they decided to buy the house because its location would allow them to get to work very easily. This means that the location of the house is convenient for the people buying it to commute to their workplaces.

Meaning of the sentence:
The sentence implies that the house is located in a place that provides easy access to the buyers' workplaces, making their daily commute more convenient.

Choice of pronouns:
- Option 'A' ("theirs, them") uses possessive pronouns, which do not fit in the context of the sentence.
- Option 'B' ("it, themselves") uses a reflexive pronoun 'themselves' to refer to the people, but the sentence does not indicate any self-action.
- Option 'C' ("its, them") correctly matches the pronouns 'its' with the house and 'them' with the people.
- Option 'D' ("they, us") uses 'us' instead of 'them,' which does not match the antecedent 'they'.
- Option 'E' ("its, their") uses 'their' instead of 'them,' which does not match the antecedent 'they'.

Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer.

This school is only for children _______________ first language is not English.
  • a)
    whose
  • b)
    who
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yashina Kapoor answered
Explanation:
The correct answer is "whose".
- "Whose" is a relative pronoun used to indicate possession or belonging.
- In this sentence, the school is only for children whose first language is not English.
- The word "whose" is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the children.
- The relative clause is "whose first language is not English", which specifies the characteristic of the children attending the school.
- The word "whose" is used instead of "who" because it refers to possession or belonging (the children possess or belong to a group whose first language is not English).
- The word "who" is used to refer to people or animals, but it does not indicate possession or belonging.
- Therefore, in this sentence, "whose" is the correct choice to indicate that the school is only for children who possess the characteristic of having English as their first language.

  • c)
    its, his
  • d)
    it, one’s
  • e)
    its, he’s
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered

To solve this question, we need to understand the correct usage of possessive pronouns and their antecedents. Let's analyze the options:
A:
it’s, his

- The word "it's" is a contraction of "it is" and cannot be used as a possessive pronoun. This option is incorrect.
B:
it, him

- The word "him" is an objective pronoun and cannot be used as a possessive pronoun. This option is incorrect.
C:
its, his

- The word "its" is the possessive form of "it" and is correct in this context.
- The word "his" is a possessive pronoun and agrees with the noun "hand." This option is correct.
D:
it, one’s

- The word "one's" is a possessive pronoun, but it does not agree with the noun "hand." This option is incorrect.
E:
its, he’s

- The word "he's" is a contraction of "he is" and cannot be used as a possessive pronoun. This option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: its, his.

Some of these clothes are _______and the rest of ______________belong to Richa.
  • a)
    yours, it
  • b)
    my, them
  • c)
    hers, their
  • d)
    me, they
  • e)
    mine, them
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Harsh Malik answered
Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of possessive pronouns and how they are used to show ownership or possession.

Possessive Pronouns:
Possessive pronouns are used to replace a noun and indicate that something belongs to someone or something. They are used to show ownership or possession. In this question, we are given two sets of clothes - one set belongs to the person being addressed and the other set belongs to Richa. We need to find the appropriate possessive pronouns to complete the sentence.

Options:
a) yours, it
b) my, them
c) hers, their
d) me, they
e) mine, them

Analysis:
a) "yours" is a possessive pronoun that is used to refer to something belonging to the person being addressed. However, "it" is a pronoun used to refer to a thing or an animal, not a person. Therefore, this option is not correct.

b) "my" is a possessive pronoun that is used to refer to something belonging to the person speaking. However, "them" is a pronoun used to refer to multiple people or things. Since we are referring to clothes, which is plural, the pronoun "them" is appropriate. Therefore, this option is not correct.

c) "hers" is a possessive pronoun that is used to refer to something belonging to a female. Similarly, "their" is a possessive pronoun that is used to refer to something belonging to multiple people. Since we are referring to clothes, which is plural, the pronoun "their" is appropriate. Therefore, this option is not correct.

d) "me" is not a possessive pronoun. It is an object pronoun that is used as the object of a verb or preposition. "They" is a pronoun used to refer to multiple people or things. Since we are referring to clothes, which is plural, the pronoun "they" is appropriate. Therefore, this option is not correct.

e) "mine" is a possessive pronoun that is used to refer to something belonging to the person speaking. Similarly, "them" is a pronoun used to refer to multiple people or things. Since we are referring to clothes, which is plural, the pronoun "them" is appropriate. Therefore, this option is correct.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'E' - "mine, them". The sentence should be "Some of these clothes are mine and the rest of them belong to Richa." This correctly uses possessive pronouns to indicate ownership or possession.

A cemetery is a place ___________ people are buried.
  • a)
    whom
  • b)
    where
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The answer is: B. where

A cemetery is a place where people are buried.

Here is a detailed explanation:


  • Cemetery: A cemetery is a designated area of land where the remains of deceased people are buried or interred.

  • Place: A cemetery is a specific location or site.

  • People: The word "people" refers to individuals, specifically deceased individuals in this context.

  • Are buried: This phrase indicates that the purpose or function of a cemetery is to provide a final resting place for the deceased.


Therefore, when we say "A cemetery is a place _____ people are buried," the correct word to fill in the blank is "where." It signifies the location or site where the deceased individuals are laid to rest.

It is important to note that "whom" is not the correct choice in this context. "Whom" is used as an object pronoun, typically referring to a person or people. However, in the given sentence, we are referring to the location rather than the individuals themselves.

Overall, the correct answer is "B. where" because it accurately describes a cemetery as a place where people are buried.

The place _______________  we spent our holidays was really beautiful.
  • a)
    where
  • b)
    who
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Edgy Education answered

The correct answer is "where". Let's break down the explanation into headings and bullet points for clarity:
Explanation:
- The sentence is talking about a place where the holidays were spent.
- The word "where" is used to refer to a location or place.
- In this context, "where" is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the place.
- The relative clause modifies the noun "place" and gives more details about it.
- The relative clause "we spent our holidays" is essential to understanding the place being described.
Key Points:
- The word "where" is used to refer to a location or place.
- It is commonly used to introduce relative clauses that provide additional information about the place being referred to.
- In this sentence, the relative clause "we spent our holidays" modifies the noun "place" and adds more details to it.
- The word "where" is the correct choice as it accurately describes the relationship between the place and the holidays spent there.

And, the neighbourhood ________  they are moving into is not much safer.
  • a)
    that
  • b)
    who
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?


To complete the sentence "And, the neighbourhood ________ they are moving into is not much safer," we need to choose the correct pronoun. Let's analyze the options:
A:
that

B:
who

In this case, the correct pronoun to use is "that." Here's why:
- The word "neighbourhood" is a place or location, so we need a pronoun that refers to a place.
- "That" is a pronoun used to refer to a specific thing, person, or place that has already been mentioned or is understood from the context.
- In this sentence, "the neighbourhood" is the place being referred to, and "that" is used to connect the information about the neighbourhood being moved into and its level of safety.
Therefore, the correct answer is A:
that

  • a)
    They
  • b)
    You
  • c)
    We
  • d)
    It
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Indu Gupta answered

The correct answer for the given statement is option D: It.
Explanation:
- The sentence states that "His dog has got a long tail." So, we need to use a pronoun to refer to the dog.
- The pronoun that refers to a singular noun, in this case, the dog, is "it".
- The sentence also mentions that the dog's tail is "dark brown", which further confirms the use of the pronoun "it" as it agrees with the singular noun "dog".
Therefore, the correct pronoun to fill in the blank is "It".

Fill in the blanks with appropriate personal pronoun given in the options.
Q. Sonam is a good student. _______always completes her homework.
  • a)
    I
  • b)
    He
  • c)
    It
  • d)
    She
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Akash Tiwari answered

To solve this question, we need to identify the appropriate personal pronoun to complete the sentence correctly. Given that the sentence is talking about Sonam, who is a good student and always completes her homework, the correct personal pronoun to fill in the blank is "She".
Explanation:
- Sonam is the subject of the sentence, so we need a pronoun that refers to her.
- The pronoun "I" refers to the person speaking, which is not appropriate in this context.
- The pronoun "He" refers to a male, which is not correct as we are talking about Sonam, who is female.
- The pronoun "It" is used for non-living things or animals, which is not suitable in this sentence.
- The pronoun "She" is the correct choice as it refers to Sonam, a female student, who always completes her homework.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: She.

To determine the appropriate personal pronoun to fill in the blank, let's analyze the sentence:

Q. Rahul is very tall. _____________is slim too.
  • a)
    You
  • b)
    He
  • c)
    I
  • d)
    She
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?


To determine the appropriate personal pronoun to fill in the blank, we need to consider the information given in the sentence. The sentence states that Rahul is very tall and something about his physique.
The correct pronoun to be used in this context is "he." Here's why:
1. Rahul is very tall. The sentence introduces Rahul as the subject of the sentence. Since Rahul is a male name, the appropriate pronoun to refer to him is "he."
2. _________ is slim too. The blank is asking for a pronoun that agrees with the noun "Rahul." Since Rahul is a male, the pronoun that agrees with him is "he."
So the correct answer is B: He.

Q. Mona and I are sisters. _________are from Garhwal region.
  • a)
    She
  • b)
    They
  • c)
    You
  • d)
    We
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

Mona and I are sisters and we are both from the Garhwal region. Therefore, the correct pronoun to fill in the blank is "we" (option D).

Reasoning:

- The question states that Mona and I are sisters, which means there are two people involved.
- The pronoun used to refer to two people is "we."
- Option A, "she," is incorrect because it refers to a singular person, not two people.
- Option B, "they," is also incorrect because it refers to a group of people, not two specific individuals.
- Option C, "you," is used to refer to the person being spoken to, which is not appropriate in this context.

Summary:

In this sentence, the correct pronoun to fill in the blank is "we" because it refers to Mona and I, who are sisters from the Garhwal region.

Akash Tiwari answered

The correct personal pronoun to fill in the blank is "I".
Explanation:
- The sentence is introducing the speaker and providing information about their name and place of origin.
- In this case, the speaker is referring to themselves, so the appropriate personal pronoun to use is the first-person pronoun "I".
- The pronoun "I" is used when the speaker is referring to themselves as the subject of the sentence.
- The other pronoun options given in the question, "He", "It", and "You", do not match the context of the sentence and do not refer to the speaker.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: I.

Q. Kasturee and you speak English fluently. Where did ____________learn it from?
  • a)
    You
  • b)
    They
  • c)
    I
  • d)
    She
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Akash Tiwari answered

The appropriate personal pronoun to fill in the blank is "you".

Explanation:

The sentence mentions that both Kasturee and the person being addressed (you) speak English fluently. Therefore, the pronoun that refers to the person being addressed (you) should be used in the blank.

Let's analyze the options:


  • A: You - This is the correct pronoun to refer to the person being addressed, as mentioned in the question.

  • B: They - This pronoun refers to a group of people, but the sentence specifically mentions Kasturee and the person being addressed, not a third party.

  • C: I - This pronoun refers to oneself, but the question is asking about the person being addressed, not the person speaking.

  • D: She - This pronoun refers to a female, but the sentence does not provide any information about a female speaker.


Therefore, the correct answer is A: You.
