the one with perry. it does not specify which one he ate. it just says “it” not the “apple” or the “cheese”

Answer:

"perry dropped his cheese...etc."

Step-by-step explanation:

that's the correct answer, bc the pronoun is "it", and he dropped TWO things, so it's unclear which he ate. hope this helps : )
