1. The correct answer for this question is d. adverb. To confirm this, you can identify the function of "down" in the sentence. In this case, "down" is modifying the verb "is" by providing more information about the location of the yellow house. Therefore, "down" is functioning as an adverb.
2. The correct answer for this question is a. her, their. To confirm this, you can identify the possessive pronouns that correctly match the possessive determiners "her" and "their." In this case, "her" refers to the pregnant person, and "their" indicates possession by multiple people. Therefore, "A. her, their" is the correct option.
3. The correct answer for this question is b. him/her. To confirm this, you can determine the appropriate pronouns to use in the blank spaces. In this case, you need to use pronouns that can replace "him" and "her" individually. Therefore, "him/her" is the correct option.
4. The correct answer for this question is b. mine/me. To confirm this, you need to choose the correct pronouns that match the possessive pronoun "mine" and the objective pronoun "me." In this case, "mine" indicates possession, and "me" is the objective form of the pronoun. Therefore, "B. mine/me" is the correct option.
5. The correct answer for this question is c. She injured herself. To confirm this, you need to choose the sentence that uses a reflexive pronoun correctly. In this case, the pronoun "herself" correctly reflects back to the subject "she" as the one who performed the action. Therefore, "C. She injured herself" is the correct option.
