Answer 3

A personal pronoun is a pronoun that is associated primarily with a particular person, in the grammatical sense.

Answer 4

An antecedent is something that comes before.

Answer 5

i htink b ?

Answer 6

"left" would be the antecedent to the pronoun you need.

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

Think about it, it is asking for a \(\cal\normalsize\color{black}{personal}\) pronoun. If that person, that "somebody" that was part of the group, left a purse outside, wouldn't it be their own, personal purse?

Answer 9

so D or C?

Answer 10

It would be odd if someone had \(\cal\normalsize{your}\) purse, right?

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Yes, if a guy had a purse, it would be a bit weird. D.Her would be a better choice, although C would work just as fine.

Answer 14

Answer 15

C would make more sense given the context, so yes, you are correct. C it is.
