Question

our geology professor showed us a series of photos of volcanic islands to explain that they follow a pattern: a large, geologically active mountain with sloping lowlands surrounding them. which choice makes the sentence grammatically acceptable? f no change g those h they j it

Explanation:

To determine the correct pronoun, we analyze the antecedent. The pattern describes a single mountain (a large, geologically active mountain), so we need a singular pronoun. "Them" (F), "those" (G), and "they" (H) are plural, while "it" (J) is singular and refers to the mountain.

Answer:

J. it
