Identify the sentence that uses a possessive pronoun correctly. A. The mermaids swam in the sea, then combed the'ir hair on th
e rocks. B. The mermaids swam in the sea, then combed there hair on the rocks. C. The mermaids swam in the sea, then combed they’re hair on the rocks. D. The mermaids swam in the sea, then combed their hair on the rocks.
D. The mermaids swam in the sea, then combed their hair on the rocks.
Explanation:
Example D is the only one which is correct. On example A we find the expression (the'ir) which is completely misspelled and nonexistent in English language. On the other hand, example B shows a misuse of the adverb "there" representing an homophone to the word "their", and finally, example C contains the contracted form of they are which also turns out to be an homphone to the word "their".
