Answer:

An objective pronoun acts as the object of a sentence—it receives the action of the verb. The objective pronouns are her, him, it, me, them, us, and you.

Subject pronouns are used to replace nouns that are the subject of the sentence. They can be first, second, or third person. They can also be singular or plural. The subject pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we, and they.

Possessive pronouns show that something belongs to someone. The possessive pronouns are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their. There's also an “independent” form of each of these pronouns: mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, and theirs. Possessive pronouns are never spelled with apostrophes.

Answer:

The aunt disapproves of the bachelor's story because she disagrees with the moral message it gives to the children.

Explanation:

This question refers to Hector Hugh Munro's story "The Storyteller".

Three children travel with their aunt in a railway carriage. Bored by the long travel, the children keep asking the aunt whole bunch of usual children questions, but the aunt's answers don't satisfy the children's curiosity. She decides to tell them a story, but the kids find it boring and the moral of the story unoriginal.

The man traveling with them shares the same opinion on aunt's storytelling so he gives a try. He tells the story about a girl who was so good that she earned medals for that and was invited to a beautiful park where no other kid was ever allowed. In that park she was atacked by a wolf. She hides, but the wolf hears her medals clinking, finds her and eats her. Basically, the story tells that the girl wouldn't have been eaten hadn't she been so good.

The aunt is shocked by the moral of the story and shows jer disapproval with it in this excerpt.

The detail which best show that the narrator's activism has changed practices in the community is this: 'three weeks later, two businesses had signed on and two more said they do think about it. This option is the correct one because it shows that two businesses in the community has implemented the desired change already and two more businesses are on the verge of doing the same, which means the narrator's activism is already generating positive results in the community.
