Question

Identify the correct choice to complete this sentence. My father and mother had quite different political views from each​ other, so​ _____ rarely discussed politics. A. him and herself B. him and her C. he and she D. he and her

Answer 1

Answer:

C. he and she

Explanation:

In this sentence, "my father" and "my mother" are the subjects that perform the action which is "discuss". As they are the subjects of the sentence, it's necessary to use the subject forms of the pronouns: "he" and "she".

Another way to put it is by separating the original sentence in two sentences:

- He rarely discuss politics with my mother.

- She rarely discuss politics with my father.

So:

He and she rarely discuss politics.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. he and she

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that replaces the noun which has already mentioned previously in the sentence. The noun which is replaced is said to be antecedent.

There must be an agreement of the pronoun in terms of gender and number with the antecedent.

As per the sentence is given in the question, the nouns are 'father' and 'mother'. The pronoun replacing them in the other part of the sentence will be 'he' and 'she'.
