Answer 1

Hint: To answer this question we should know the parts of the speech thoroughly. We will be using pronouns in the sentence given above.

Complete Answer:A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in the sentence. Pronouns are used to avoid repeating the same nouns over and over again. Example: I, me, his, she, him etc. There are different types of pronouns let us discuss them one by one.

Types of pronouns are:
->Personal pronouns- I, he, she
->Possessive pronouns- my, his
->Relative pronouns-who, whom, which
->Demonstrative pronouns-this, those
->Interrogative pronouns-who, whom, which

Let us discuss the given options one by one so as to find out the correct option.
>Option A) It
This is the correct option as the pronoun it replaces the noun dictionary that has already been mentioned.
>Option B) you
This option is incorrect because you are used to referring to the person or people that the speaker is addressing.
>Option C) Them
This option is incorrect because it is used to refer to two or more people or things.
>Option D) my
This option is incorrect because my is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with the speaker.
