Question

Fill in blank (56):

• A. Him
• B. It
• C. Them
• D. Their

Answer 1

The correct option is C Them

Pronouns replace nouns that have been mentioned before.

The given sentence is about trees. The noun 'trees' has been mentioned before and would be replaced by a pronoun to avoid repetition and monotony.

Option C: 'Them' is a plural pronoun that refers to objects or people. Hence it replaces the noun 'trees' and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Him' refers to a man. 'Trees' is not a man.

Option B: 'It' refers to one single object. The noun 'trees' is plural.

Option D: 'Their' is a possessive pronoun. The given sentence does not express possession of anything.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
