Question

Which pronoun best completes the sentence?

Who makes better tacos than __________?









A.
they







B.
him







C.
them







D.
her

Answer 1

can you exclude any options?

Answer 2

sure
him and her

Answer 3

I wouldn't necessarily exclude those.
try to plug in each pronoun and read it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who makes better tacos than \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm they }\)?
Who makes better tacos than \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm him }\)?
Who makes better tacos than \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm them }\)?
Who makes better tacos than \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm her }\)?\

which one does NOT make sense?

Answer 4

him her and them sound correct

Answer 5

okay, good!

Answer 6

now, usually when you just say "who" then it is referring to "him" "her" or "it"

Answer 7

like if you ask, who was that, you say "who was that?" not
who "were" that....

Answer 8

could it then be "us" because "them" refers to him or her

Answer 9

it should be either B or D, because just a plain "who" (without any additional information on what a pronoun would relate to) would be referring to "him"/"her"

Answer 10

Can you select B and D?

Answer 11

then it could be "her" right?

Answer 12

it could be "her" and "him".
Choosing only one out of those I would choose "him", because it's a bit more typical to be first-coming than "her".

Answer 13

I think I've got it. Thanks for the help.

Answer 14

Yeah, but technically B and D are both correct.
