The correct word to complete the sentence is:
C. his
To choose the correct word to complete the sentence, you need to understand the grammatical role of the missing word in the sentence. In this case, the missing word should refer to the person who will be watched in the school play.
Option A, "he," is a pronoun that usually functions as the subject of the sentence. However, in this case, it does not fit because it does not refer to a person who will be watched in the school play.
Option B, "him," is also a pronoun, but it is typically used as an object in a sentence. In this case, "him" would correctly refer to Elias, as the person who is asking in the sentence, but it does not convey the idea of someone who will be watched in the school play.
Option C, "his," is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership. In the sentence, it refers to Elias. However, it does not convey the idea of someone who will be watched in the school play.
Therefore, the correct word to complete the sentence is option A, "him."
