Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun:
Nisha told us that ________ and her brother would clean the terrace before the Holi party.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → she
Complete sentence: Nisha told us that she and her brother would clean the terrace before the Holi party. Here the blank and “her brother” together form the subject of “would clean”. Without “and her brother”, it reads “she would clean”.
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) her | the object form of “she”, for the person who receives the action | We invited her to the party. |
| (2) she (answer) | a pronoun that does the action together with a noun is part of the subject, so it takes the subject form (I, he, she, we, they) | She and her mother run a small tea stall. |
| (3) herself | used when the subject and the object are the same person | Nisha made herself a sandwich. |
| (4) hers | means belonging to her | That green umbrella is hers. |
