Transcript text: Complete the sentence with the correct pronoun.
The CEO gave us and $\qquad$ different speeches to inspire all of us to work together.
theirs
their
they
them
Solution
The answer is: them
Explanation:
"The CEO gave us and them different speeches to inspire all of us to work together."
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
"theirs" is a possessive pronoun, which would not fit in this context as it does not serve as the object of the verb "gave."
"their" is a possessive adjective, which also does not fit because it needs to modify a noun, and there is no noun following it in this sentence.
"they" is a subject pronoun, which is not appropriate here because the sentence requires an object pronoun to follow "us and."
Thus, "them" is the correct object pronoun to complete the sentence.
