Question

Fill in the blank [2] with suitable pronouns from the alternatives given.

• A. What
• B. Which
• C. That
• D. His

Answer 1

The correct option is C That

In order to fill in the blank with the correct personal pronoun, let us understand what personal pronouns are. We use personal pronouns in place of a particular thing or a person's name/noun. For example: 'I spoke to them'. Here, 'I' is a subjective personal pronoun and 'them' is an objective personal pronoun.

NOTE: The second blank requires a demonstrative relative pronoun to demonstrate 'amenities'.

Option A - 'What' is a relative pronoun, used to indicate/demonstrate a thing/ideas or for asking for any information indirectly. As the sentence is not about asking information, we can't use 'what' here. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Which' is used as a relative pronoun for the things that have been previously mentioned. As the given sentence doesn't have things that have been previously mentioned, we can't use 'which' here.Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'His' is used as an objective personal pronoun for 'he'. 'His' is used to indicate any possession or ownership of a male noun/pronoun. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'That' is a relative pronoun which is used to demonstrate people or things that aren't close/near to a hand. As the sentence just talks about the amenities (amenities are not near to us), we can use 'that' here. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

'It is small but it has all the amenities that a man can dream of.'
