What do you think

Answer 2

When it is talking about several people, you won't say 'my' right?

Obviously...

Answer 6

Pronoun is a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this ).

So what do you think now.

Answer 7

The sentence is talking about several people, therefore, it is not C.

Answer 8

So is it A or B?

Answer 9

And the neighbors wouldn't prepare your house for you.

Answer 10

So it's not A.

"their" refers to more than 1 things or people

Answer 13

B

Answer 14

Yes!

Answer 15
