thank you again i was trying to find that link from last time :)
To identify how the underlined pronoun is used in the sentence, we can break down the options given:
A. Subject: A subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. In this case, the pronoun "they" is not the one performing the action, so it is not the subject.
B. Object of preposition: The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows a preposition and completes its meaning. However, there is no preposition in the sentence, so it cannot be the object of a preposition.
C. Predicate nominative: A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and renames or identifies the subject of the sentence. In this sentence, the pronoun "they" is not renaming or identifying the subject, so it is not the predicate nominative.
D. Indirect object: An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object of the verb. In this sentence, there is no direct object or verb that would indicate the presence of an indirect object. Therefore, "they" cannot be the indirect object.
Based on this analysis, none of the options provided accurately describe the use of the pronoun "they" in the sentence.
