Question

Identify the implied or present relative pronoun in the following sentence:
People have to face the consequences of the actions ____ they perform.

• A. people
• B. they
• C. that
• D. actions

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

that

The sentence requires a relative pronoun which always indicates a clause that is essential to the meaning of the sentence because it defines or identifies the noun it refers to. The clause here is "_ they perform" and the noun referred is "actions". The appropriate relative pronoun is "that". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
