WAEC - English Language (2003 - No. 57)
From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:
Sometimes minor incidents in our lives stand out because we cherish _______
Sometimes minor incidents in our lives stand out because we cherish _______
it
many
none
them
Forklaring
In the sentence, the pronoun "them" is used to refer to "minor incidents" mentioned earlier in the sentence. The complete sentence would be:
"Sometimes minor incidents in our lives stand out because we cherish them."
In this context, "them" is the correct pronoun to use to represent and refer back to the plural noun "incidents." Options A, B, and C do not correctly match the plural nature of the noun and do not provide a suitable reference for "minor incidents" in the sentence.
