Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable pronoun:

I bought a new album. _______ is by a new band.

• A. He
• B. She
• C. It
• D. Hers

Answer 1

The correct option is C It

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated with a particular person, like ‘he’, ‘she’ and ‘they’. While an impersonal pronoun is commonly used to speak about inanimate objects/things. ‘It’ is an impersonal pronoun that is used for this purpose. In the given sentence, the noun is an ‘album’ therefore ‘it’ would be the apt answer. Thus option C is correct. On the other hand, ‘He’ and ‘She’ cannot be used since an ‘album’ is not a person. Thus options A and B are incorrect. ‘Hers’ is a possessive pronoun that is used to talk about things that belong to people. Since the sentence doesn’t speak about belonging, option C is incorrect.
