Read the sentence. though ed and his two sisters want to study whales, ed is more serious about it than which pronoun correctly completes the elliptical clause? a.) they b.) them c.)her

The pronoun that correctly completes the clause is B) them.

Explanation: The sentence provided includes a comparative clause. As the two items that are being compared are Ed and his two sisters, the pronoun that fills in the blank must refer to the sisters, a plural noun. In that way, "her", which is a pronoun that refers to a single person, cannot fill in the blank. Moreover, "they" cannot complete the clause either because it is a subject pronoun and the blank in the sentence does not represent the subject. Therefore, "them", which is an object pronoun used to refer to more than one person, is the word that correctly completes the elliptical clause.

The correct answer is letter A. They

Explanation:

   Despite "They" and "Them" are pronouns, the main difference between these two pronouns is that the first one you use like a subject pronoun and the second one as an object pronoun. In this case, if you want to use "them" ina  sentence, you have to use it after a verb or a preposition, because the reason it works as an object pronoun. In the sentence of this question, to use "Them", you would have changed it like the following sentence: Though Ed and his sisters want to study whales, Ed is more serious about them. Even though this sentence doesn't make any sense, it's such an example about the using of "Them".
