Question

Fill in the blank with the correct pronoun from the options given.
I like such books _________ illustrate their topics clearly.
A) Who
B) Which
C) That
D) As

Answer 1

Hint: Pronouns that attach a clause or a word to a noun or a pronoun are referred to as relative pronouns. For example: 'I have no idea who you are,'. The word 'who' is used here to connect the term 'I don't know' to the rest of the sentence. Often, the word 'who' binds the clause to the word 'you.'

Complete answer:
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. We need to know what relative pronouns are in order to fill in the blanks. Let us compare the option with the sentence which is the best option.
Option A - 'Who' is a relative pronoun, which is used for persons or people. Here, the sentence is about 'books' so we can’t use 'who'. Thus the option is not fit for the sentence. As a result, option A is wrong.
Option B - 'Which' is used as a relative pronoun to refer to the aspects stated previously. We can't use 'which' here because the sentence is about 'the novel.' As a result, option B is wrong.
Option C - 'That' is a relative pronoun used to denote or illustrate an object, event, or location. We will use 'that' because the 'book' is being illustrated here. As a result, choice C is the correct answer.
Option D - 'As' is a preposition, a conjunction, and an adverb, not a pronoun. Thus, this is also not fit for the sentence. As a result, option D is wrong.
Some example for the pronoun: He, she, it, they, anybody, who. Pronouns have the same capabilities as nouns. They can be subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, prepositional objects, and other things.

Hence, option C is the appropriate one for the given sentence. So, we form the sentence- ‘I like such books that illustrate their topics clearly’.

Note: It is the good note to bind the subordinate clause to the noun 'books,' we'll need a relative pronoun. A term that can be used alone as a noun phrase and refers to the discourse participants (e.g., I, you) or to someone or something specified elsewhere in the discussion.
