Question

Select the correct​ pronoun(s) to complete this sentence. The students feel​ _____ are poor writers and​ _____ skills are​ inadequate.

a. ​they/your
b. ​they/their
c. ​them/his or her
d. ​them/their

Answer 1

The correct option to complete the sentence is b) “they/their”:

The students feel they are poor writers and their skills are inadequate.

The pronoun “they” is replacing “the students” and it acts as a subject pronoun. The word “their” is describing the noun “students” so it is acting as a possessive adjective.
