Identify the determiner in the following sentence:
The twins told us that their old cycle was not big enough.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → their
In this sentence “their” comes before “old cycle” and tells whose cycle it is.
| Option | Meaning and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) their (answer) | a determiner: comes before a noun and tells which, whose, how many or how much | Their house is next to the post office. |
| (2) that | a conjunction here: joins “told us” to what the twins said | Mira said that the bus was late. |
| (3) enough | an adverb here: comes after the adjective “big” and tells how big | The room is not warm enough for Nani. |
| (4) us | a pronoun: stands alone, with no noun after it | Ravi invited us to his birthday party. |
