Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
_________ children went on the flight.

• A. All of
• B. Them
• C. One of
• D. Both

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both

Options A and C: 'All of' and 'one of' are both followed by the word 'the', when modifying pronouns (all of you, one of you). When we speak about common nouns like 'children', 'of' is unnecessary.

(So the correct form would be 'all' in 'all the children'.)

Hence options A and C are incorrect.

Option B: 'Them' is a pronoun used as the object of a verb in a sentence. It cannot be used as the subject. Hence B is incorrect.

Option D: 'Both' is a determiner that emphasizes on the noun that follows. 'Both' emphasizes on two people or things, here it refers to two children. Hence option D is correct.
