Question

Correct the sentence at the underlined point.

Kate and Becky both tried on the necklace, but it only suited the other well. [Advanced]

• A. her
• B. the one
• C. the latter
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is C the latter

The pronoun is used to replace a noun. Here, the nouns are 'Kate' and 'Becky' and the suitable pronoun to refer to the first noun is 'the former' and to refer to the second noun is 'the latter'. 'Her' can be confusing because 'Her' is the pronoun for both the nouns mentioned. Therefore, the correct option here is C) the latter.
