Question

In which of the following sentences is the personal pronoun used

correctly?
A. Read this story; they're really good.
B. The narrator's mother likes to quiz her at dinnertime.
C. The performers in the talent show took his turn performing
D. The narrator's father is not a major character; the story is not about them.

Answer 1

b) The narrator's mother likes to quiz her at dinnertime

Step-by-step explanation:

choice b is the only option that correctly uses personal pronouns, since it is directly referring to the narrator; the other choices use them incorrectly; option a should use “it’s” instead of “they’re”, since it is referring to an object, not a person, choice c should use “their”, because it is referring to a group of multiple people, and choice d should use “him” in place of them

Answer 2

The sentence with the correct personal pronoun is 'The narrator's mother likes to quiz her at dinnertime.' In this sentence, 'her' is used correctly as an object personal pronoun referring to the narrator's mother. Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct usage of personal pronouns in a sentence ensures clarity and grammatical accuracy. Personal pronouns can function in sentences in various ways depending on their case, as subject, object, or possessive. The subject case pronouns (I, we, you, he, she, it, and they) function as subjects, the objective case pronouns (me, us, you, him, her, it, and them) function as objects, and possessive case pronouns (my/mine, our/ours, your/yours, his/her/hers/its, their/theirs, and whose) show ownership.

In the student's question regarding the correct use of personal pronouns, the sentence 'The narrator's mother likes to quiz her at dinnertime.' correctly uses the personal pronoun 'her' because it serves as the object of the verb 'to quiz,' referring back to the narrator's mother.

This sentence demonstrates a proper understanding of pronoun case and its grammatical function, making it the sentence where the personal pronoun is used correctly.
