Last summer on our vacation to Colorado, (we) went to a rodeo.
Question 12 options:
no
yes
Yes
No.
To determine whether the word in parentheses is a possessive pronoun, we need to understand what a possessive pronoun is and then analyze the sentence.
A possessive pronoun is a pronoun that shows ownership or possession. It replaces a noun to indicate that something belongs to someone or something.
In the given sentence, the word in parentheses is "we." To determine if it is a possessive pronoun, we can try replacing it with a noun and see if it still makes sense.
If we replace "(we)" with a noun, such as "my family," the sentence would be:
"Last summer on our vacation to Colorado, my family went to a rodeo."
Since "our" is showing possession and indicating that the vacation belongs to the speaker or the speaker's family, "we" can be considered a possessive pronoun.
Therefore, the correct answer is "yes."
