Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one and choose the correct pronoun based on grammar rules (subject vs. object pronouns, antecedents, and agreement).
1. *Our neighbors told us about a trip ________ are taking.*
- The subject of “are taking” must be plural because “trip” is singular but the verb “are” is plural → the subject is the people doing the action. Who is taking the trip? “Our neighbors” — a plural noun → pronoun must be
they.
✔ B. they
2. *They will visit friends in Florida and stay with ________ for a week.*
- After “with”, we need an object pronoun. “Friends” is plural, so the pronoun should be
them (object form of they).
✔ A. them
3. *They asked my sister if ________ would like to join them.*
- The subject of “would like” is the person being asked — “my sister”, who is female → use
she (subject pronoun).
✔ A. she
4. *My brother was upset that they did not ask ________.*
- After “ask”, we need an object pronoun. The person not asked is “my brother” → male →
him.
✔ B. him
5. *My father suggested that ________ could go as a family.*
- “As a family” implies more than one person — likely the speaker and their family (including the speaker). The subject of “could go” is the group including the speaker → use
we (subject pronoun for first-person plural).
✔ B. we
6. *________ started making our plans that afternoon.*
- Subject of the sentence. “Our plans” suggests the speaker is included → first-person plural →
We.
✔ A. We
7. *Our neighbors gave ________ some advice on day trips.*
- After “gave”, we need an object pronoun. The speaker is likely included (“our” = speaker + others), so the object is
us.
✔ B. us
8. *________ was the only one who had never been to Florida.*
- Singular subject. Options: “We” (plural) vs. “I” (singular). Only “I” fits with “was” and “the only one”.
✔ B. I
9. *Everyone wished ________ well on my first trip south.*
- After “wished", we need an object pronoun. Who is being wished well? The speaker (“my first trip”) → so it’s
me (object form of I).
✔ A. me
Now double-check all:
1. they
2. them
3. she
4. him
5. we
6. We
7. us
8. I
9. me
All match subject/object usage and antecedents.
Final Answer:
1. B
2. A
3. A
4. B
5. B
6. A
7. B
8. B
9. A
