Question

Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun from the options given.
Anju and Ritu are my friends. I know _________ very well.

• A. Her
• B. It
• C. You
• D. Them

Answer 1

The correct option is D Them

In order to fill in the blank with the correct form of the pronoun, let's understand what objective case (accusative case) is. An accusative case is an objective case. These pronouns are objects in a sentence. For example, 'He said that he misses them.' Here, 'them' is the object and hence it is an accusative case of a pronoun.

Option A - 'Her' can be used as an accusative case of the pronoun, however, the sentence is about more than one person, hence we need a third-person plural pronoun. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'It' is the third-person singular pronoun. We can't use 'it' for people. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'You' is the second-person pronoun. It can be used as an accusative case of the pronoun, but here we need a third-person plural pronoun. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Them' is used for people, it is used as a third-person plural pronoun in accusative case of the pronoun. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

'Anju and Ritu are my friends. I know them very well.'
