English

Answer:

Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for <u>his</u> yearbook staff.

Explanation:

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. Pronouns that express ownership are called possessive pronouns. They include pronouns <em>my, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your </em>and <em>yours</em>.

When we want to express something that belongs to a female, we say that something is <em>her/hers</em>. When something belongs to a male, it is <em>his</em>. In the given sentence, the subject is a man (Mr., or Mister Thompson), so the appropriate possessive pronoun is <em>his</em>: <em>Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for </em><u><em>his</em></u><em> yearbook staff.</em> Had the subject been a female (e.g. Mrs. Thompson), the sentence would've been correct.

Click to read the passage from "An Indian Father's Plea," by Medicine
Sonbull [250]

This question is incomplete, because the text was missing.

Here is the text.

Dear teacher, I would like to introduce you to my son, Wind-Wolf. [1] He is probably what you would consider a typical Indian kid. He was born and raised on a reservation. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, olive complexion. And like so many Indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the classroom. He is 5 years old, in kindergarten, and I can't understand why you have already labeled him a "slow learner." At the age of 5, he has already been through quite an education compared with his peers in Western society. At his first introduction into this world, he was bonded to his mother and to the Mother Earth in a traditional native childbirth ceremony. And he has been continuously cared for by his mother, father, sisters, cousins, uncles, grandparents, and extended tribal family since this ceremony. — Lake, Medicine Grizzlybear. "An Indian Father's Plea" by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake (a/k/a Robert G. Lake-Thom) as appeared in Orion magazine, Autumn 1995. Reprinted by permission of the author.

The correct answer is C. Western society misjudges Native American practices.

Explanation

The text is a letter written by an Indian father who expresses the perception that Western society has about Native Americans and how this has affected his son, who has found it difficult to fit into the traditional teaching of American schools. Additionally, to reinforce his idea by saying that his 5-year-old son has been educated on the reservation by his community about other aspects of life, however, traditional American education had labeled him as "slow learner". According to the above, the correct answer is C. Western society misjudges Native American practices.
