Which sentence contains a pronoun that is not in the proper case? 20 points

siniylev [52]

1. The sentence that contains a pronoun that is not in the proper case is A) The principal decided that the ultimate decision about dress code should be left to we students.

The pronoun that is not in the proper case is "we", which is a subject pronoun, that is to say a pronoun that replaces a noun as subject of a sentence. The use of "we" in this sentence is incorrect and it should be replaced with the pronoun "our", which is a possesive pronoun. In this case, "our" should be used to indicate that the students, which is the noun that comes after the pronoun, belong to that specific school.

2. The sentence that has a possesive noun error is A) The management believed it had little choice but to lay off the companies highest paid employees.

The mistake in this sentence is "companies". "Companies" must be changed to "company's" because the sentence is making reference to the management of one company and not more than one. Moreover, the possesive noun or genitive case ('s) is used to show possession or to show that someone belongs to a group. In this case, the genitive case must be added to indicate that the "highest paid employees" belong to that company.

3. The sentence that has an error is C) At the beach with her two sisters, John's mother wasn't sure whether those flip-flops were hers' or one of theirs.

The error that this sentence has is "hers'". Hers is a possessive pronoun; therefore, it is used to indicate possession. In this case, it is used to signal that John mother might possess those flip-flops. However, the mistake is in the apostrophe ('). The apostrophe should not be added at the end of the word. In general, apostrophes are not added at the end of possessive pronouns.

4. The possessive pronoun that best completes the sentence is B) their.

The possessive pronoun "their" indicates that two or more people possess something. In this case, it is used to show that both Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes own a car. In that way, option a) is incorrect because "the" is an article and not a possessive pronoun, while d) is also incorrect because "they" is a subject pronoun. Moreover, it is not possible to use the possessive pronoun "theirs" as option c) suggests because the pronoun in the sentence is followed by a noun. In contrast to "theirs", "their" can be followed by a noun. Therefore, option b) is the correct one.

Which story would most likely be science fiction? O A. A story featuring a grandfather telling stories of his childhood O B. A s

shepuryov [24]

Science fiction is something that is not real and pertains to science.

Option a could not be the correct answer. The statement simply states that a grandfather is telling stories of his childhood. There is no mention or sense of anything scientific about this. For all we know the grandfather could be talking about how he remembers the smell of his mothers cooking. Yes, it is possible he could be talking about his fathers experiments in science. But since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.

Option b could be correct. The statement tells us about a town that takes place on Saturn's moons. Since Saturn is something that is somewhat unknown to us (humans) and is a place that can still be researched this can involve something pertaining to science.

Option c could not be correct. This is because the statement is to bland. This could be talking about anything. His fear could be of heights or snakes or drowning. It could also be possible that his fear is of something that is then solved with scientific research but since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.

Option d could also not be the correct answer. If a story is focusing on a conflict between two friends, then science will probably not be a factor in that. Unless the friends are science geniuses. Then this answer is not likely to be correct. Also, since it states that the MAIN FOCUS is already on the friends then that leaves little room for science.

This leaves the one possible and most likely answer to be correct, which is option b.
