Which of the following is written correctly?
a. Father gets a bit of family news whenever he visits my uncle.
b. Father gets a bit of family news whenever my uncle visits him.
c. Whenever Father visits my uncle he gets a bit of family news.
d. Whenever Father and my uncle visit, he gets a bit of family news.
i know it can't be D. can't decide between A or B?
I think A and B are bothe correct, too. I guess I'd choose A because there's absolutely no doubt who 'he' is.
oh for B i forgot to add a comma. For B it looks like this:
Father gets a bit of family news, whenever my uncle visits him.
^ will this affect the answer since there's a comma?
A or B? sorry about forgetting the comma earlier in choice B
The comma is not correct in B.
Reed is right. No comma is needed in B, so A is it.
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the appropriate use of pronouns.
Option A: "Father gets a bit of family news whenever he visits my uncle."
In this sentence, the pronoun "he" refers to the subject "Father". So, it means that Father gets a bit of family news whenever Father visits my uncle. This implies that Father gets the news whenever he himself visits the uncle, which does not make sense.
Option B: "Father gets a bit of family news whenever my uncle visits him."
In this sentence, the pronoun "him" refers to the subject "Father". So, it means that Father gets a bit of family news whenever my uncle visits Father. This implies that Father gets the news whenever the uncle visits Father, which is grammatically correct and makes sense.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "Father gets a bit of family news whenever my uncle visits him."
