ILL MEDAL
I KNOW THIS ISNT MATH BUT NO ONE WILL HELP ME IN THE ENGISH AREA

Which of the following pronouns completes the sentence CORRECTLY? Each of the boys began to clean _____ desk.

HIS OR THEIR?

Answer 1

Their.

Beside.... this is a math section.... just so you know. doesn't mean you should do this again.

Answer 2

It says boys meaning more than one boy so it would be their meaning their own....if it was boy then it would have been his

Answer 3

I know it isn't but, know one will help me in the english

Answer 4

it was his.....

Answer 5

I NEW IT WAS

Answer 6

DANG IT

Answer 7

Well then.... It wouldn't make sense... because it says "boys" ... meaning more than one boy..... should be their...

But anyways... guess the answer is different somehow... don't forget to close this post.

Answer 8

it is their...

Answer 9

Each of the boys began to clean _____ desk.

Each is the subject of the sentence.

Each is singular.

Each takes a singular possessive pronoun.

Each cleans HIS desk.

Answer 10

@563blackghost The person who made this post says it's "his". Which I find odd, but oh well..

Answer 11

Sorry I could not get to this question sooner. If you posted this in the English section you may have avoided the misinformation given to you. Sorry again mate.

Answer 12

@Scooby6363 Are you saying that it is not "their" ?

Answer 13

@Mykie Read Directrix's post for the answer. Perfect english grammar is not as easy as you may expect. People tend to underestimate the difficulty of grammar tests in America.
