Question

Which personal pronoun refers to the antecedent and correctly completes the sentence?

Before going to bed, Jill and Meghan brushed __________ teeth.

A.
your

B.
their

C.
yours

D.
theirs

Answer 1

The personal pronoun that refers to the antecedent and correctly completes the sentence is "their". The correct answer is option B. The antecedent in the sentence is "Jill and Meghan". It is a compound subject; therefore, the antecedent that should be used to refer to them should be plural, which is the pronoun "their".
