Question

Choose the word to fill in the blank.

People who eat too much popcorn risk getting kernels in
teeth.
Select one:
O a. their
b. his or her
O c. them
Clear my choice

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put each word into that sentence, it will be clear that A is the answer. The first sentence, using A, will sound like this:

"People who eat too much popcorn risk getting kernels in their teeth."

Everything flows well together, and it sounds like a grammatically correct sentence.

The sentence using B will sound like this:

"People who eat too much popcorn risk getting kernels in his/her teeth."

This also flows well, but the reason this is not the answer is because we're not talking about one person, hence the word "people" in the sentence.

Sentence C would sound like this:

"People who eat too much popcorn risk getting kernels in them teeth."

This doesn't flow and isn't grammatically correct.

Hope this helped!
