Question

Which pronoun correctly replaces the underlined words in the sentence?

The students who won the poetry contest are Haley and Paul.



A.
we


B.
us


C.
they


D.
them

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A and C are grammatically incorrect. Assuming that Haley and Paul are underlined, the viewer refers to Haley and Paul in 3rd person. Therefore, them is the correct answer, as even though B could work, the viewer isn't Haley or Paul. We have to keep the meaning of the sentence the same.

Answer 2

The underlined words are Hailey and Paul, so D,them is the correct answer
