Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
She's telling _________ an amusing story.

• A. they
• B. them
• C. to them
• D. their

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

them

If the pronoun is receiving the action, it is called a direct object. Object pronouns are always used when the antecedent is a direct object. Here, the story is being listened to by third persons. The object pronoun for third person plural is "them". Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
