Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the bold word in the following sentence.

    The man was satisfied after having its lunch.

    A it Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B its Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C his Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D her Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pronoun "its" is incorrect because it is used for objects or animals when the gender is not specified. Since "man" refers to a male person, the correct possessive pronoun should be "his." Therefore, the sentence should read: "The man was satisfied after having his lunch."
