Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
You can have these books. __________ are too hard for me.

• A. It
• B. They
• C. Its
• D. There

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

They

In the given sentence the books are being referred to.

'Its' is the possessive pronoun of 'it'. 'It' is an impersonal pronoun which is used for singular nouns. Thus we can eliminate options A and C as incorrect.

'They' is a personal pronoun which stands for both persons and things. It is used for plural nouns. Thus option B is the correct answer.

As a pronoun 'There' can be used as a subject of the sentence or for introducing a statement about someone or something that happens. In the given sentence we cannot use 'there'. Thus option D is incorrect.
