Correct Answer: C

Your Answer:

Explanation

C

In this Rules question, pronouns and apostrophes are changing in the answer choices, so it's testing consistency with pronouns. Find and highlight the word or phrase that the pronoun refers back to: The white bird, which is singular, so in order to be consistent, a singular pronoun is needed. Write an annotation saying "singular." Eliminate any answer that isn't consistent with bird or is incorrectly punctuated.

• (A) and (B) are wrong because they is plural.

• (C) is correct because it is singular and possessive.

• (D) is wrong because it means "it is."
