Answer:

The dark wizards were not about to let Harry Potter get the best of them.

Explanation:

A pronoun is one of the eight (8) parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence i.e it substitutes a noun and noun phrases in a sentence. Some examples of a pronoun are he, she, you, I, who, it, them, ours, someone, whose, everybody, many, few, each, herself, himself, whoever, those, etc.

In English language, a subject can be defined as a person, thing, idea or place that performs an action.

Also, a subject-pronoun agreement refers to the situation in which there is an agreement between a subject and a pronoun in terms of number.

This ultimately implies that, if a subject is singular; its pronoun should also be singular (one) and if the subject is plural; the pronoun must be plural (more than one).

Furthermore, a pronoun referring to a singular subject should be in singular form while when it's referring to more than one (plural) subject, it should be in plural form; so as to connote an agreement of words (concord).

<em>In this context, the sentence that demonstrates a correct pronoun usage is; "The dark wizards were not about to let Harry Potter get the best of them."</em>

<em>Wizards is a plural subject and as such should be replaced with a pronoun that connotes plurality such as them.</em>

Which is most commonly true of characters in Realist novels?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Well, from the realistic novels I've read - if they're real, their called memiors, by the way - then most of the books end with the character coming to a nice end after a lot of struggles, or, they don't have much good to look forward to in life. 
As an example, look at "Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah"

So... I would say (a) or (b)

Write three sentences to summarize the event the quotation involves"But we are never to speak the name, or to use it again for a
denis-greek [22]

A summary for the event the citation refers to can be: The former Giver's name has been banned from society. This happened because she did not honor the selection ceremony, refusing to accept her position, rebelling, and promoting shame to society.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The quote refers to the girl who was selected as the Giver before Jonah.
  • This girl refused to keep the position selected for her and rebelled against the established system in this society.
  • For acting contrary to what had been determined, the girl was considered a social shame.
  • She was excluded from her people and her rebellion was considered so serious that not even her name could not be mentioned or used.

"The Giver" is the story of a dystopia, where everyone is controlled by the government and prohibited from keeping memories, which had to be transported to the Giver.
