Question

which homophone best completes the sentence?
they showed us ______ finished projects at the end of class.
○ its
○ its
○ theyre
○ their

Explanation:

1. "its" is a possessive pronoun for singular neuter nouns, which does not match the plural subject "They".
2. "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has", which does not fit grammatically here.
3. "they're" is a contraction of "they are", which would create a grammatically incorrect sentence.
4. "their" is a plural possessive pronoun, which correctly shows the projects belong to the group referred to by "They".

Answer:

their
