The contraction "they've" best replaces the words they and have in the sentence.
The contraction that best replaces the words "they" and "have" in the sentence is "they've."
To determine the correct contraction, you can break it down:
- The word "they" can be contracted to "they'" when followed by a verb.
- The word "have" can be contracted to "'ve" when used as an auxiliary verb.
By combining these two contractions, we get "they've," which is the correct answer.
