Which of the following pronoun completes the sentence correctly?
Each of the boys began to clean _____desk.
a. his
b. him
c. their***
if anyones wondering it should be "his"
c. their
Well, well, well, looks like we have a group cleaning party going on! And if we want to be grammatically correct, we need to use the pronoun "their". Let's give those boys some credit for working together and cleaning up their own desks. Teamwork makes the dream work, people!
The correct pronoun to complete the sentence is "their" (c).
To determine the correct pronoun to complete the sentence, we need to consider the subject of the sentence. In this case, the subject is "Each of the boys."
To find the appropriate pronoun, think about whether the subject is singular or plural. In this sentence, "Each of the boys" indicates that the subject is singular because "each" refers to each individual boy one at a time.
Based on this information, we need to select the singular pronoun that matches the possessive form. The pronoun "his" is the correct option because it agrees with the singular subject "Each of the boys."
So, the correct pronoun to complete the sentence is: a. his
