Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable pronoun:
All of _______ went to fetch her from the airport.

• A. We
• B. Them
• C. Our
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Them

The word in the blank space is part of the Subject phrase, 'All of them'. The phrase performs the action of 'went to fetch'. However, when a pronoun is used in the phrase, 'all of ______', the blank space is to be filled with the pronoun in the objective (also called accusative) case.

Option A is incorrect as the pronoun, 'We' is in Nominative case. You may note that 'All of we' is grammatically incorrect.

Option B: The word, 'them' when used alone is a pronoun in objective case. Hence, this is the correct answer.

Option C is incorrect as the pronoun, 'our' is in possessive case. You may also note that "All of our" is grammatically incorrect.

Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer.
