From their postcard it sounds as if they're really enjoying them.
Correct answer: D. them
- A. it
- B. as if
- C. they're
- D. them
Explanation
Replace "them" with "themselves":The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "them" instead of the reflexive pronoun "themselves." When describing an action that individuals are enjoying, and the action reflects back on the same individuals, a reflexive pronoun is appropriate. Therefore, replacing "them" with "themselves" makes the sentence grammatically correct.In each question in the following, four alternative sentences are given. Choose the CORRECT one and fill in the circle corresponding to that letter in the answer sheet.
