Question

many novelists in the 1920s wrote about rich people and sometimes criticized them. which kind of pronoun case is the word in bold? a. objective case b. nominative case c. possessive case

Answer 1

Answer is a.

The word "them" is in the objective case.

In this sentence, "them" is the object of the verb "criticized" and functions as a pronoun that refers to the rich people mentioned earlier in the sentence. The objective case is used for pronouns that function as the direct or indirect object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition.
