Question

select the correct pronoun to complete the sentence.
receiving the award for most improved team completely surprised ____ and their coach.
them they

Explanation:

To determine the correct pronoun, we analyze the sentence structure. The pronoun is the object of the verb "surprised", so we need an objective - case pronoun. "Them" is the objective case of "they", while "they" is the subjective case. In this sentence, since the pronoun functions as the object of "surprised", "them" is the correct choice.

them
