Which of these pronouns is third-person plural possessive

English

Third-person means the speaker is referring to people separately rather than directly to them. For example, one might talk about 'them', or how 'it' was affected, maybe how 'she' did this or 'he' did that. You are not saying 'you' did this or 'we' have done that, but rather you are speaking <em>of</em> them rather than <em>to </em>them.

The definition of 'plural' is common knowledge. You use plural pronouns to refer to multiple things rather than just one. You're talking about 'those' apples, not 'the' apples.

Possessive is what it sounds like. You posses something, it's yours. The bread is 'theirs' and the book is 'his'. Maybe the tea is 'hers' and perhaps the pen is 'yours'.

Knowing all of this, what pronoun refers to a person separately rather than speaking directly to them, is plural, and suggests possession of something?

Third person plural pronoun is THEY.
If you want to create a possessive pronoun out of that one, that would be THEIRS. 
Possessive pronouns, as the name itself says, determine some kind of possession. For example:
Is this books yours? - No, it's theirs.

According to "Astrophysicist Chronicles Battle over Pluto," why did Dr. Tyson
zimovet [89]

Answer:

According to "Astrophysicist Chronicles Battle over Pluto," Dr. Tyson decide to exclude Pluto from the exhibits of planets, because it displays the characteristics of an icy body rather than a planet.

Explanation:

Astrophysicist Chronicles Battle over Pluto is a story of one of our solar system planet ‘Pluto.’ When Will Galmot visited the American Museum of Natural History, he noticed that it included hundreds of planet except Pluto. So he sent a letter to the museum authorities as to why Pluto isn’t included.

In 2006 when Dr. Tyson excluded the planet Pluto and labeled it as ‘dwarf planet’ he was criticized my many and he gave a justification by stating that, Pluto is no more than just a icy body, we cannot label Pluto a planet. If Pluto takes the place of earth, from the rays coming from sun will would dry up that ice and what will remain will just be a piece of its tail.’

___ seems to forget that there are things to be done before he can graduate.<br> is she or he
lesya692 [45]
You would use "he" here because at a later part we encounter "he can graduate" which shows that the doer of the action is a male and therefore requires "he" to be used.
