Every father needs to take a break for him now and again in order to stay healthy.
Correct answer: C. for him
- A. Every father
- B. to take a break
- C. for him
- D. stay healthy.
Explanation
Replace "him" with "himself".The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "him" instead of the reflexive pronoun "himself." When referring to the subject of the sentence (in this case, "Every father"), a reflexive pronoun is used to indicate that the action is directed back to the subject. Therefore, replacing "him" with "himself" makes the sentence grammatically correct.
