writingWhich choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
A
you
B
yours
C
We
D
they
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. The antecedent is "hikers" (plural). The third-person plural pronoun "they" is required.
Choice A is incorrect because "you" shifts perspective. Choice B is incorrect because "yours" is a possessive pronoun. Choice C is incorrect because "We" includes the speaker, which "hikers" does not necessarily imply.
