underlined word is they

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's um...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well it cannot be indirect object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh huh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They is a pronoun so it can't be subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That just leaves A and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, hold on. Sometimes "they" is a subject in some sentences but not often. Also I don't think it would be A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'm leaning mostly towards subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so is that your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm gonna check and make sure. But yes. I think it's subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep so it's subject. ^^
