Replace the underlined nouns with pronouns. Choose the answers from ...
Explanation:
In this sentence, the underlined nouns "Sumit and I" are the subjects of the sentence. To replace them with pronouns, we need to use the pronouns that correspond to the first person plural, which includes the speaker and the person being spoken to.
The options given are:
a) They
b) We
c) Us
d) She
Using the pronoun "They":
If we replace "Sumit and I" with "They", the sentence would read: "They go to college together." This would imply that Sumit and I are being referred to as a third party, which is not correct in this context. The pronoun "They" is used to refer to a group of people or objects other than the speaker and the person being spoken to.
Using the pronoun "We":
If we replace "Sumit and I" with "We", the sentence would read: "We go to college together." This correctly represents the first person plural, including both the speaker and Sumit. Therefore, option 'B' is the correct answer.
Using the pronoun "Us":
If we replace "Sumit and I" with "Us", the sentence would read: "Us go to college together." This is grammatically incorrect as the subject of the sentence should be in the subjective case (we) rather than the objective case (us).
Using the pronoun "She":
If we replace "Sumit and I" with "She", the sentence would read: "She goes to college together." This is grammatically incorrect as the verb "go" should be in the plural form to agree with the subject.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' (We).
