Choose the correct object pronoun for words in parentheses.
Mary gave (the report) to Miss Cook.
Question 1 options:
them
it
us
it
To determine the correct object pronoun, we need to identify the noun being replaced by the pronoun. In this sentence, the noun being replaced is "the report." Since the report is singular, we can eliminate the pronoun "them," which is plural.
We are left with two options: "it" and "us." To determine the correct pronoun, we need to consider the context of the sentence. The phrase "Mary gave" implies that Mary is giving something to someone else.
In this case, Mary gave the report to Miss Cook. Since Miss Cook is a singular individual, we should use a singular pronoun. Therefore, the correct object pronoun for "the report" is "it."
