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

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

I'm not sure about the page numbers, specifically, but I can give you a few examples of violence in the book to give you an idea of where in the book to look :)

Explanation:

When Ponyboy is jumped by the Soc's in the very beginning of the book, (just a few pages in), the several rumbles initiated by the gang, when Johnny and Ponyboy are getting beat up in the park, when Johnny kills the Soc, the rumble the gang goes to for Johnny after he dies in the hospital, when Dally is shot by the cops, and that's all I remember, though I'm sure there is more :)

I hope this helped though!!

Maintain eye contact and do not cut the speaker off mid sentence. You should also appear interested and pay attention to what they are saying.
