(HE,I,THEY) IS THE CAPTAIN OF THE BASKETBALL TEAM
Answer (2)
The correct pronoun for the sentence is He. Therefore, the correct sentence is: He is the captain of the basketball team.Understanding the Pronoun ChoiceIn this sentence, the pronoun is the subject, which is the noun or pronoun performing the action. The pronoun He is a subject pronoun, while him would be the object pronoun.Why the Other Options are Incorrect * They is a plural pronoun and doesn't match the singular verb "is." You would say "They are the captains of the basketball team." * I is a first-person pronoun, used to refer to yourself. Using it in this context, "I is the captain of the basketball team," is grammatically incorrect. It should be "I am the captain of the basketball team."
"He" is a third-person singular pronoun and takes the singular verb "is.""I" would require "am" ("I am the captain...")."They" is plural and requires "are" ("They are the captains..." — note plural noun).Also use the subject pronoun (He) rather than an object form (him).
