Let's solve each of these pronoun questions step by step and explain the correct answers.

3. Sita, Renu and Priya are friends.
- Underlined: *Sita, Renu and Priya*
- These are three girls (females), so the plural pronoun
"They" is used.
-
✔ Correct answer: d. They
---
4. Nitin and I had breakfast.
- Underlined: *Nitin and I*
- Two people: Nitin (male) and "I" (the speaker). Together, they form a plural subject.
- So, the correct pronoun is
"We".
-
✔ Correct answer: d. We

5. My dad is a doctor.

"He".

9. Mom, dad and me went to a party.
- Underlined: *Mom, dad and me*
- This sentence has a grammatical error: "me" should be "I" as part of the subject.
- Correct version: *"Mom, dad and I went to a party."*
- But since the underlined phrase refers to
three people, the correct pronoun is
"We".
-
✔ Correct answer: b. We
> Note: Although "me" is incorrect here (should be "I"), the intended meaning is that three people went — so the correct pronoun replacement is
"We".
