Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the best pronoun that fits.
---
1. The girl walked down the hall and dropped ___ book.
- “The girl” is female → so we use
her.
- “His” is for boys, “our” means belonging to us — doesn’t fit here.
✔ Correct answer:
her
---
2. Fred goes home and feeds ___ cat after school.
- “Fred” is a boy’s name → so we use
his.
- “Her” is for girls, “my” would mean *I* feed the cat — but it’s Fred doing it.
✔ Correct answer:
his
---
3. The children waved to ___ teacher when they left the classroom.
- “The children” = more than one kid → plural → so we use
their.
- “Her” or “his” would be for one person — not right for multiple kids.
✔ Correct answer:
their
---
4. The rabbit wriggled ___ nose at me.
- “Rabbit” is an animal → we use
its (not his/her unless we know gender).
- “Our” or “my” don’t make sense — the rabbit isn’t part of “us” or “me”.
✔ Correct answer:
its
---
5. My family likes to play games in ___ living room.
- “My family” includes me → so we say
our living room.
