Let's solve each question step by step and explain the correct pronoun for the underlined words.
---
1. The train has stopped.
-
Underlined: *The train*
- A train is an inanimate object, so we use the pronoun
"It".
-
✔ Correct answer: c. It
---
2. The dog ran behind the car.
-
Underlined: *The dog*
- A dog is an animal, and when referring to animals (especially pets), we usually use
"It" unless gender is known.
- Here, no gender is specified, so
"It" is appropriate.
-
✔ Correct answer: b. It
---
3. Sita, Renu and Priya are friends.
-
Underlined: *Sita, Renu and Priya*
- These are three girls (names suggest female). So, the plural pronoun for females is
"They".
-
✔ Correct answer: d. They
---
4. Nitin and I had breakfast.
-
Underlined: *Nitin and I*
- "Nitin and I" refers to two people — one male (Nitin) and one (the speaker). Together, they form a plural subject.
- The correct pronoun for two people is
"We".
-
✔ Correct answer: d. We
---
5. My dad is a doctor.
-
Underlined: *My dad*
- "Dad" is a male person → use
"He".
-
✔ Correct answer: c. He
---
6. The man is reading a book.

"He".

"She".

---
9. Mom, dad and me went to a party.
-
Underlined: *Mom, dad and me*
- This is a bit tricky. The sentence uses
"me", which is incorrect grammatically. It should be
"I" or
"we".
- But the question asks for the correct pronoun to replace the underlined phrase.
- "Mom, dad and me" refers to three people: mother, father, and the speaker → use
"We".
- Note: The sentence structure is wrong ("me" should be "I"), but the intended meaning is that
"we" went to the party.
-
✔ Correct answer: b. We
