Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Kathy is wearing a hat ____ is red.

• A. it
• B. so
• C. that
• D. such

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

that

In the given sentence, the word 'red' is used to modify the hat worn by Kathy. Thus, there must be a pronoun that connects the sentence to the adjective 'red', which will also refer to the noun 'hat'. Thus, the correct answer must be a relative pronoun.

Option A is incorrect. 'it' is a personal pronoun. Although it might refer to the noun 'hat', it does not connect the sentence to 'red'. Thus, it is not the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect. In the given sentence, 'so' acts as an adverb and not as a pronoun. Thus, it does not refer to the noun 'hat', an is the incorrect option.

Option C is correct. 'that' is a relative pronoun. Thus, it joins the sentence to the adjective 'red'. Thus, it also refers to the hat worn by Kathy, and is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. In the given sentence, 'such' acts as an adjective and not a pronoun. Thus, it is not the correct answer.
