There are four trees in the garden. (i) .................. branches s...
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the word "their" should be used to fill in the blank (i).
The sentence structure is as follows:
"There are four trees in the garden."
To determine the appropriate word to fill in the blank, we need to consider the subject of the sentence, which is "four trees." Since "trees" is a plural noun, we need to use a plural possessive pronoun to show ownership.
The options "there," "every," and "an" are not possessive pronouns.
- "There" is an adverb and does not show possession.
- "Every" is a determiner and does not show possession.
- "An" is an indefinite article and does not show possession.
Therefore, the correct answer is "their," which is a plural possessive pronoun indicating ownership by the trees.
Example:
The sentence can be rewritten as:
"Their branches sway in the breeze."
Using "their" indicates that each tree has branches that sway in the breeze.
There are four trees in the garden. (i) .................. branches s...
The correct answer is THEIR. this is because the given extract focuses on all the branches(notice the plural form of the noun branch used)of the four trees rather than just one(option c and d gets eliminated because they are singular forms).Furthermore,it also signifies the branches as a possession of the tree hence b would be the correct option.
