Hi Kevin, this is from OG13. However, can you please also check it at your end. Perhaps I am missing something.
Hi Saumya,
So I was able to locate this sentence in OG13 question 109. The
OG does confirm that answer choice A is correct, which I found perplexing at first, but after speaking with my colleague, I can see why it is actually and acceptable answer.
The only time that you can have a possessive noun as an antecedent is when the pronoun is possessive. In this sentence, it is acceptable to use "her" but would be unacceptable to use "she."
This is something I did not mention in the video and I am glad that you asked this question so that it is clear.
Happy Studying!
Hi Kevin - a question for you on this topic! When using her, "her" can be both a regular and possessive pronoun, correct? This is different to him/his, where the difference in more obvious. In cases with her, we just need to be clear on whether "her" is functioning as a regular or possessive pronoun, correct?
