Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the correct pronoun that fits grammatically.
---
1. (We / I) am one of the hardest working players on the team.
- The verb is “am” — only “I” goes with “am”.
- “We” would need “are”.
✔ Correct:
I
---
2. Make sure to tell (us / we) the score as soon as you can.
- After a verb like “tell”, we use the object form.
- “Us” is object; “we” is subject.
✔ Correct:
us
---
3. (You / Him) are a very fast runner!
- Verb is “are” — matches “you” (singular or plural).
- “Him” is object, not subject — doesn’t fit here.
✔ Correct:
You
---
4. I can tell (it / that) was a very difficult decision to make.
- Both could work in casual speech, but “that” refers back to something specific (the decision), which makes more sense here.
- “It” is vague; “that” points clearly to the decision mentioned.
✔ Better choice:
that
*(Note: In some contexts “it” might be acceptable, but since this is about choosing the BEST pronoun, “that” is clearer and more precise.)*

5. Are you sure that (he / they) turned in his homework?
- The possessive “his” tells us the person is male and singular → so subject must be “he”.
- “They” would go with “their”, not “his”.
✔ Correct:
he
---
6. Please remind (her / she) the importance of being on time.
- After “remind”, we need an object pronoun.
- “Her” = object; “she” = subject.
✔ Correct:
her
---
7. Please ask (they / them) if they are available for Monday.
- After “ask”, we need object pronoun.
- “Them” = object; “they” = subject.
✔ Correct:
them
---
8. Make sure (it / he) gets there on time.
- We’re talking about a person getting somewhere on time → likely “he”.
- “It” is for things or animals usually.
✔ Correct:
he
---
9. (She / Her) is a very valuable player to the team.
- Subject of the sentence → needs subject pronoun.
- “She” = subject; “Her” = object/possessive.
✔ Correct:
She
---
Final Answer:
1. I
2. us
3. You
4. that
5. he
