Answer (1)
Here are the suitable pronouns that can be used to fill in the blanks:
They have lost their car, they can use either if they like.
This sentence implies that there are two options available, and "either" is correct when referring to one or the other of two.
This one is my home. I live in it.
In this sentence, "one" refers to a specific object among many, emphasizing the particular house that is the speaker's home.
They took no notice of me. I do not want to go there again.
This sentence is about the speaker's own feelings or intentions, so "I" is the appropriate pronoun.
He cannot teach his sister.
The sentence is talking about a relationship between a male subject and a sister, so "his" is the correct possessive pronoun.
She is going to a school.
Since this sentence is expressing generality about any school, "a" is the suitable choice.
The farmer who was very old could not walk quickly.
"Who" is a relative pronoun used to refer to people, making it the correct choice for describing the farmer.
A bird builds its nest to lay eggs.
Here, "its" is the correct possessive pronoun for an animal like a bird.
These are our fields, those goods are yours.
"These" and "those" are used as demonstrative pronouns to distinguish between objects close by and those further away, respectively.
Somebody is a person who carries goods at a bus station.
In this sentence, "somebody" refers to a person in general terms, without specifying who.
Where are you going? Have you ever been there?
The pronoun "you" is used to address someone directly in this question and subsequent follow-up.
