Question

Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:

The brothers, whose father was a millionaire, could afford anything he wanted.

• A. she
• B. one
• C. they
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C they

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands (ante = "before"). The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. The antecedent here is 'brothers' which is plural. So, we need a plural pronoun. Hence, the correct answer is C) They.
