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

Refer to the Newsela article "Alas, Shakespeare Won't Be Taught in This Class."
Molodets [167]

Answer: Students should read works by authors that represent their ethnic and economic backgrounds.

Explanation:

This article is about Dana Dusbiber, a high school teacher in Sacramento who believes that teaching Shakespeare to students is no longer relevant in this day and age.

Her argument is based on the opinion that students would relate more to works by authors who come from or write based on similar ethnic and economic backgrounds to the students which is increasingly important as classrooms become more diverse.
