The Tuatha Dé Dannan had recently descended upon Ireland’s emerald shores. Their name means “tribe of the gods,” and gods they w

ere. The Tuatha Dé Dannan came to the coast of Connemara in clouds of mist. Some say they sailed into the harbor like men and burned their boats, creating smoke that spread out across the land. Others swear that they came down from the heavens on dark clouds like a fine rain. These supernatural beings brought with them three days and three nights of complete darkness, a harbinger of changes to come. No one knows the true story of how the Tuatha Dé Dannan arrived in Ireland. But everyone knows how they fought their way across the land until it was theirs.

The correct answer is C. Reference Pronoun.

Explanation:

The pronoun is used to replace the noun in a sentence. The pronoun can be placed as a reference when the noun was previously mentioned. In this particular case, the word "Them" is a reference to the words " Supernatural beings". So, in order to avoid the repetition of these words, we use the reference pronoun.

These supernatural beings brought with them three days and three nights of complete darkness, a harbinger of changes to come.

C. Reference Pronoun

A reference pronoun is a pronoun that refers to (or stands in for) a noun or noun phrase, also called an antecedent. In the sentence, "them" refers to the noun phrase (which also functions as the subject): "These supernatural beings", whose personal pronoun is "they".

The other options are incorrect because

  • The possessive pronoun of "They" is "theirs", not "them" (A).
  • "Them" never works as a subject in a sentence and the subject is already established: "These supernatural beings" (B)
  • And lastly, "them" does not work as an object pronoun because it is not the object of the main verb ("brought).

Which word has negative connotations?<br> A. Pastime<br> B. Pursuit<br> C. Chore<br> D. Activity
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Chore

Explanation:

Hi,

Pastime doesn't really have a negative connotation basically means how things agree. Pursuit doesn't either neither does activity. Maybe chore? Kids usually use chores as a way of saying they're being forced to do something they don't want to do. Pretty sure it's the only answer that actually makes sense.

I hope this helps :)
