Answer:

The pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is <em>them.</em>

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a compound subject. A compound subject is one that consists of more than one noun (my father, my sisters). The individual elements in a compound subject are joined by a coordinating or correlative conjunctions.

When <em>and</em> is used to join the elements in a compound subject, the compound subject is treated as plural. However, when using <em>or, either/or, </em>or <em>neither/nor, </em>the compound subject might be singular or plural. Usually, if all the elements are singular, then it should be treated as singular. Yet, this is not the case. The NP "sisters" is plural, so the compound subject should be treated as plural despite of the fact that it has been coordinated by <em>or. </em>Therefore, the pronoun that correctly completes the sentence is <em>them.</em>

Them because the sentence said "father or sisters" which is multiple people. It is not specifying only one person. If it was only one person it would be "him" or "her". So the correct answer is them

How do I get better at English, Its almost like I cant learn.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

You need your own style of learning. It took me a while to find mine. I was terrible at History, until I learned I was kinesthetic. I didn't learn by reading and writing, but by doing hands-on activities, games, writing songs, etc. Here is a snapshot explaining the types of learning styles. I hope this helps!

Complete the text using the words below.
madam [21]

Answer:

If you want a correct answer, you might want to check the word both in the poem you wrote as well as the options you're giving to choose from. For example (as a freebie), the first line is supposed to read "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference." I think you mistakenly misspelled difference in your word choice options.
