rejoined in to see the questions marks' actual meaning, if you know what I mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1 is D and 2. is B,right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am a little confused about the second question, but 1 is D I am sure.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm To~do~one's~best}\) is the ultimate goal. lets take it separately: \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm To~do~one's~best.}\) Who does? A subject would answer this question. Who recieces the action? An object would answer this question what does it mean to receive the action? That means that there is a noun to which the action refers.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

we can for sure exclude A.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am thinking....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think it is C. You \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm do~best}\). \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \Uparrow}\) verb You do \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm one's}\) best.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not sure about this though.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I meant word "one's" not C, but D...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

1. D (for sure) 2. D (what I think)
