Understanding the Context
In the given sentence, "His friend bought the house. It now belongs to ________," we need to identify the correct pronoun that indicates ownership of the house.
Analyzing the Options
- a) us: This option implies ownership shared among a group, including the speaker, which does not fit as only the friend bought the house.
- b) her: This option would suggest that the house belongs to a female individual, but the context does not provide any information about a female being involved.
- c) him: This option indicates that the house belongs to the male friend who purchased it. Since "his friend" refers to a male, this is the most suitable pronoun.
- d) them: This would suggest the house belongs to a group, which again does not fit since only one person (the friend) bought the house.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'C' (him) because:
- It directly relates to "his friend," indicating that the house now belongs to that male friend.
- The context of the sentence supports the idea of singular ownership by a male individual, making "him" the most logical choice.
Thus, the completed sentence would read: "His friend bought the house. It now belongs to him."
