To determine the correct pronoun to fill in the blank, you should consider the subject of the sentence and whether the pronoun is being used as a subject or object.
In the first sentence, "Sonny and me have been inducted into the National Honor Society," you should use the pronoun "I" because it is being used as the subject of the sentence.
In the second sentence, "The guide showed the other tourists and them where in the palace the Treaty of Versailles had been signed," you should use the pronoun "them" because it is being used as the object of the verb "showed."
In the third sentence, "The experimental vaccine against the malaria parasites attacks them at the stage when they infect red blood cells," you should use the pronoun "them" because it is being used as the object of the verb "attacks."
In the fourth sentence, "Sir William Gilbert and him wrote The Pirates of Penzance before they wrote The Mikado," you should use the pronoun "him" because it is being used as the object of the verb "wrote."
In the fifth sentence, "Neither us nor our veterinarian could figure out why the dog kept whimpering and howling," you should use the pronoun "us" because it is being used as the subject of the sentence.
In the sixth sentence, "The librarian lent Geraldine and me some rare books from the reference section," you should use the pronoun "me" because it is being used as the object of the verb "lent."
In the seventh sentence, "Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and them were all writers of the 'lost generation'," you should use the pronoun "them" because it is being used as the subject of the sentence.
In the eighth sentence, "They live in a motor home complete with its own bathroom and air conditioning," you should use the pronoun "its" because it is being used to show possession by the motor home.
In the ninth sentence, "In spring, Washington, D.C. is absolutely beautiful with all of the cherry trees in their full flower," you should use the pronoun "their" because it is being used to show possession by the cherry trees.
In the tenth sentence, "I enrolled in a beginning art class, and surprisingly the worst drawings made by students in the class were not mine," you should use the pronoun "mine" because it is being used to show possession of the worst drawings.
In the eleventh sentence, "Everybody in the class should bring their book to school tomorrow," you could use either "his or her" or "their" as the pronoun. "His or her" would be more formally correct, but "their" is commonly used as a gender-neutral pronoun when referring to a singular indefinite pronoun like "everybody."
In the twelfth sentence, "The police chief and his brother Mark commended the heroes and then they treated the heroes to dinner," you should use the pronoun "they" because it is being used as the subject of the verb "treated."
In the thirteenth sentence, "Who was the young lady for whom you changed a flat tire on Pleasant Street as I drove by this morning?" you should use the pronoun "whom" because it is being used as the object of the preposition "for."
In the fourteenth sentence, "Neither Joe nor his parents want to give their money to the dishonest politician," you should use the pronoun "their" because it is being used to show possession by Joe and his parents.
In the fifteenth sentence, "The owner of Big Splash Water Park is the woman who promised high-paying jobs for lifeguards during the summer," you should use the pronoun "who" because it is being used as the subject of the verb "promised."
In the sixteenth sentence, "Us guys are going to form a club: the skills we learn in shop classes will help us to build our clubhouse," you should use the pronoun "us" because it is being used as the subject of the sentence.
In the seventeenth sentence, "The mayor hurt himself as he inspected the slum buildings," you should use the pronoun "himself" because it is being used reflexively to refer back to the subject "the mayor."
In the eighteenth sentence, "After tying up the canoe, Joel and I ate our lunches," you should use the pronoun "I" because it is being used as the subject of the verb "ate."
In the nineteenth sentence, "In the plots of many of Shakespeare's plays, the heroines need to disguise themselves as men," you should use the pronoun "themselves" because it is being used reflexively to refer back to the subject "the heroines."
In the twentieth sentence, "Each of the birds at the birdfeeder eats its fill of seeds and then flies to the creek for a drink of water," you should use the pronoun "its" because it is being used to show possession by each individual bird at the birdfeeder.
