Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
Africa's population has rapidly increased over the last several decades, and consequently they are very young.

A
these are

B
those are

C
it is

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

'Africa's population' is a collective noun. Here, it is being referred to as a single unit, hence, it will take a singular pronoun. So, the answer is C) it is.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select a suitable option to complete the sentence:
He is ______ faithful partner. [Basic]

A
yours

B
you

C
your

D
your's

Solution

'Yours' represents the possessive case and is a pronoun.
'You' is a second person pronoun.
'Your' represents possession and is an adjective. It will be followed by a noun.
'Your's' is wrong grammatically.
Here, the blank is followed by a noun, 'faithful partner'. Hence, we need an adjective. Therefore, the correct option is C) your.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate pronoun:
We all went with __________.

A
Them

B
Themselves

C
Himself

D
Ourselves

Solution

A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ) is a pronoun.
Them is a personal pronoun which is used in form of third person plural in an objective case. In this sentence, "we" is the subject and the blank is the object. From the given sentence, it is understandable that it is in plural form. Option A is correct.
Themselves, Himself and Herself are reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). Options B, C, and D are wrong.
Option A is correct
Question 4
1 / -0

Select a suitable pronoun:

I'm glad I live with other people. I wouldn't like to live on _____.

A
your own

B
my own

C
his own

D
their own

Solution

Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but rather determiners.Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so they appear before the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as pronouns do.
The adjective pronoun of 'I' is 'my'. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'Your' is the adjective pronoun of 'You'.
'His' is the adjective pronoun for 'He'.
'Their' is the adjective pronoun for 'Them'.
Thus options A,C,D are incorrect answers.
Question 5
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate word from the options given below.
One evening, a rich lady sent ______ housemaid to the market.

A
his

B
their

C
its

D
her

Solution

The sentence talks about the rich lady sending a housemaid to the market. It is more apt to say she sent 'her' (option D) housemaid to the market.
Options A) his is incorrect because the sentence is talking about a female, a lady. Hence it cannot be 'his'.
Option B) their is incorrect because the lady is singular but 'their' is a plural pronoun.
Option C) its is not correct since the lady is a person. The pronoun 'it' is used for objects, things or animals (for which the gender has not been specified).
So, the most appropriate answer is D) her.
Question 6
1 / -0

Select an appropriate pronoun to complete the sentence:

We had no help decorating the flat. We did it completely on _______.

A
your own

B
our own

C
their own

D

Solution

Possessive adjectives are not pronouns, but rather determiners.Possessive adjectives function as adjectives, so they appear before the noun they modify. They do not replace a noun as pronouns do.
'Our' is the adjective pronoun of 'we'. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'Your' is the adjective pronoun of 'You'.
Their' is the adjective pronoun for 'Them'.
'His' is the adjective pronoun for 'He'.
Thus options A,C,D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most appropriate word from the options given below.
When the guests arrived, she went to buy some vegetables to make dinner for _________.

A
Him

B
They

C
Them

D
Their

Solution

Between B), C) and D), the correct pronoun to be used in the sentence given is C) them as she went to bring something that was for the group of people mentioned. If we talk about something that belongs to a group of people, we use 'their/theirs'; and if we talk about something the group of people said or did, we would use 'they'.
So, the correct answer is C) them.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable pronoun from the options given:
This is the bank ___________ was robbed yesterday.

A
Which

B
Whose

C
Who

D
Whom

Solution

The given sentence is a complex sentence which is made up of two sentences. 'This is a bank'. 'The bank was robbed yesterday'. The two sentences have been combined using a relative pronoun, that works as a conjunction.
All the options given are relative pronouns that work as conjunctions. In the given sentence, the pronoun qualifies the noun 'bank'.
'Which' is used to refer to a non-living thing or animal or an idea. 'Bank' is a common noun, which is a non-living thing. Hence, this is the most appropriate relative pronoun to be used. Option A is correct.
'Whose' is a relative pronoun in genitive/possessive case. It indicates possession/ ownership/ relationship between two or more people or things. There is no reference to ownership of anything/ relationship of the bank with any other noun in the given sentence. Hence, option B is incorrect.
'Who' is used to refer to people or a person in the nominative case. 'Whom' is used when the noun referred to is a person and is the object of the verb (accusative case). In the given sentence, the noun, 'bank' is a non-living thing, not a person. Hence, options C and D are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
_____ work should be finished by the time I return.

A
Mine

B
Hers

C
Theirs

D
Your

Solution

A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ) is a pronoun. In this case, the pronoun would show a possession towards the work, thus it is in a possessive form. Now, in this case the noun "work" is already present. Thus, we would be using a possessive adjective and not a possessive pronoun (like mine, hers, theirs etc.)
Answer is Option D
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the word that fills in the blank correctly.
The angry lady said," ______ can bear with such a fool?"

A
what

B
which

C
you

D
who

Solution

We use 'Who' to ask which person is the the doer of an action or which person behaves a certain way. 'What' is incorrect as we are talking about a person and not a thing. 'Which' is also used for non-living things. 'You' is incorrect in the context of the sentence.
So, the correct answer is D) who.
