Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.Thats my dictionary. ...
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'a' - "It".
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the speaker is referring to a dictionary and wants it back.
Let's break down the sentence to understand it better:
"That's my dictionary." - The speaker is indicating that the dictionary belongs to them.
"Can I have _________ back please?" - The speaker is requesting the return of something.
To fill in the blank, we need to choose the appropriate pronoun that refers to the dictionary.
Option 'a' - "It" is the correct choice because it is a pronoun that can be used to refer to a singular noun, in this case, the dictionary.
Option 'b' - "You" is incorrect because it is a pronoun used to refer to a person or people, not objects.
Option 'c' - "Them" is incorrect because it is a pronoun used to refer to more than one object or people, and we are talking about a single dictionary here.
Option 'd' - "My" is incorrect because it is a possessive pronoun indicating ownership, but it cannot be used to refer to the dictionary itself.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a' - "It", as it is the appropriate pronoun to refer to the dictionary in this context.

Pronouns are used in place of a noun that has already been mentioned or that is already known, often to avoid repeating the noun.
Option A, 'it' is the correct answer as it replaces the noun 'dictionary' that has already been mentioned. 'It' is generally used to refer to things, animals or children whose gender is not specified.
Option B, C and D are incorrect because 'you' is used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing, 'them' is used to refer to two or more people or things previously mentioned or easily identified and 'my' is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with the speaker.
