@Jaynator495 @Hero @robtobey

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Actually, A would be a better answer. They don't signify any gender specifications, so their is appropriate

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Yes, I'm 100% sure 'their' would be the best possible answer @SoullessEyes , please verify this

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Yes, their makes the most sense. Their means more of a "possessive" term, more so than there. His or her might be used, but their seems more likely.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Its is just stupid -_-

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

I totally agree

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Have at it Jack. I'm off.

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

I would go with their

OpenStudy (jackofalltradez):

Great ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mehek14 Could you help me with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it a or d?

Mehek (mehek14):

Both seem right to me...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do I do??

Mehek (mehek14):

I guess get more people's opinions

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

@Tootles143 Your opinion on the question?

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

@Tootles143 -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question? Hee hee sorry hun.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Scroll up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do y'all think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a or d

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

I agree, though I'm leaning towards A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree with A. Because it does not give a gender to who owns the prize.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i should go with THEIR, this is a really important homework

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes... You are correct.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Homework or test? Now I'm confused...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isnt a test, it is homework, sorry if i said test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a review thingy in homework

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its okay. You have you're answer now? Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, A

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Alright, have a nice day.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome. Hope I was of help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Homework is really important, why wouldn't it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I think I understand it now, Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are very welcome. ^.^

Interesting article, if you need more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 Is "their the answer to this one?

OpenStudy (loser66):

too many comments, which one do you want to know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The very top question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one: Choose the pronoun that correctly completes the sentence. Will the person who owns the blue car please come pick up ___________ prize? a. Their b. There c. Its d. His or her

OpenStudy (loser66):

I am with you, d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh really no a like every one said! wow good to know!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so "his or her" is then answer not "their

OpenStudy (loser66):

Since the subject is "person" (singular) and the verb is "owns" (again, singular); that makes the relative pronoun must be singular and it is his or her.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o i see, thankyou! so much!
