Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

Father watched ___ crossing the street.

• A. he
• B. we
• C. him
• D. yourself
• E. himself

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

him

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 action of watching is received by a third person. The object pronoun for third person singular masculine is "him". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
