Test: Pronoun- 1 - Class 6 MCQ

The nominative case is used when the pronoun is the subject of a verb, here the people. Hence the nominative pronoun "who" is to be used. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

A pronoun replaces a noun that's been mentioned before, to avoid repetition. An interrogative pronoun helps ask a question as well as refers to the noun they stand for. The given question is rhetorical, it is not directed towards somebody, and is a general statement. The question has an error, "what" is the error, as it refers to a thing, whereas only a person can "know" something. The correct pronoun is 'who', which questions about a person, hence option B is correct. When a subject is singular, the verb that follows should be singular as well (known as the subject-verb agreement). Singular verbs end with an s, and plural verbs don't, for example 'she knows' and 'they know'. 'Who' refers to a single person, hence "knows" is correct, and option A is wrong. "Quirk of fate" is a phrase that means 'an unexpected turn of events', 'quirk' means a turn, hence the plural form 'quirks' is not required, as it modifies 'fate'. Hence option C is incorrect. As the rhetorical question is not directed towards a particular person, 'their' is unnecessary here, 'their' is a possessive pronoun which does not modify 'quirk', but 'who', whereas 'the' is the required article that modifies 'quirk', hence option D is incorrect.

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands. ( ante = "before") The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. 'Its' is the pronoun that agrees with 'project' which is the antecedent of the pronoun. Hence correct answer is B) Its.

The rule for using who and whom is the following:

• Use who when you can replace the noun/pronoun with he.
• Use whom when you can replace the noun/pronoun with him.

In the given sentence, we may use 'he' to give: 'A poor man he knew nursed the orphan.' So, the correct answer is D) whom.
'Which' is not used for people. 

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands (ante = "before"). The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. Here, the antecedent is 'London' which is a singular noun. Hence, we need a singular pronoun, 'It'. 'One' is also a singular pronoun but it refers to people, not places. 

Though the sentence speaks of 2 people, it concludes with only one person's actions. The word 'she' leaves unclear which of the two people is being spoken of. Therefore, 'she' needs to be replaced with 'the fair- haired lady', which makes clear exactly who came out with a bag. Hence, the correct answer is B) The fair-haired lady. 

Since the reference is to an event, which means something inanimate, hence third person singular neuter pronoun "it" should be used. Therefore the sentence requires no change. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

In this sentence, we are speaking about the 'family' which is a collective noun. Collective nouns may take singular or plural pronouns, based on whether they refer to the group as a single unit or to each member of the group individually. Here, we are referring to every member of the family working hard. So, we need to use a singular pronoun. Hence, the correct answer is B) Their heads.

The mere use "these" does not include all the characteristics of the impressionist movement and might refer to something else other than intended. Therefore "All of these features" must be used to clarify which nouns are being substituted. Also, the features being inanimate, no personal pronoun can be used. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule,  hence, incorrect.
