Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
That's my dictionary. Can I have _________ back please?

• A. It
• B. You
• C. Them
• D. My

Answer 1

The correct option is A It

Pronouns are used in place of a noun that has already been mentioned or that is already known, often to avoid repeating the noun.

Option A, 'it' is the correct answer as it replaces the noun 'dictionary' that has already been mentioned. 'It' is generally used to refer to things, animals or children whose gender is not specified.

Option B, C and D are incorrect because 'you' is used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing, 'them' is used to refer to two or more people or things previously mentioned or easily identified and 'my' is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with the speaker.
