D
Correct answer
Explanation
Case of passive voice, where we use third form of the verb with auxiliary. Option 4 is the correct answer.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'me' because it is the object case pronoun. When combining pronouns with other subjects or objects in the object position (after 'let'), use the object case: 'let Mac and me go'. Subject pronouns like 'I' or 'he' would only be used as subjects of sentences.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'he' because it serves as the subject of the clause 'who saw him first'. When a pronoun is the subject of a verb clause, use the subject case (he, she, I, we). 'Him' is object case and 'himself' is reflexive, neither of which can be subjects.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'mine' because it is a possessive pronoun that can stand alone as a noun phrase. When showing ownership without naming the noun again, use possessive pronouns like mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs. 'Me' is object case, 'our' needs a noun after it.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'his' because both Henry and George are male names, so we need a masculine singular possessive pronoun. The pronoun must agree in gender and number with the antecedent (either Henry or George). 'She' and 'hers' are feminine, 'himself' is reflexive.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'I' because in hypothetical subjunctive clauses ('If I were...'), the subject case pronoun is needed. When matching pronouns to subjects like 'he', we use the corresponding subject form 'I'. This is a counterfactual conditional sentence structure in English.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 'Every' because it is used with singular nouns to emphasize that each individual member of a group is included separately. 'Each' is similar but emphasizes individual items one at a time. 'All' and 'Whole' take plural nouns and refer to the complete group together.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
In comparative structures using 'than', we use the objective case pronoun when no verb follows. 'Me' is the object form and correctly completes the comparison. 'I' would require a verb after it (e.g., 'than I did'). 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun used only when the subject and object are the same person, which is not the case here.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
'Whom' is the objective case of 'who' and is used as the object of the verb 'want'. In formal English, 'whom do you want?' is grammatically correct. While 'who' is commonly used in informal speech, 'whom' remains the formally correct choice for object positions.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
When the subject and object refer to the same person, we use reflexive pronouns. 'Himself' is the correct reflexive form for 'he'. The sentence means he enjoyed his own company or actions. 'Herself' would refer back to a female subject, not matching 'he'.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
'Ours' is a possessive pronoun that can stand alone as the subject, meaning 'our house'. The sentence is saying 'Our house is not a large house.' 'My' and 'Our' are possessive adjectives that must be followed by a noun. 'We' is a subject pronoun and doesn't show possession.
-
themselves
-
them
-
their
-
ourselves
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The intensifying reflexive pronoun 'themselves' emphasizes that 'they' personally performed the action. This construction adds emphasis to the subject. 'Them' is the object form, 'their' shows possession, and 'ourselves' would refer to 'we' not 'they'.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
When listing subjects including yourself, you always put yourself last and use the subject pronoun 'I'. 'You, he and I' is the correct order. 'Me' is the object form and incorrect for the subject position.
