Question

although there was a period of adjustment, the pride of lions gradually acclimated to their new home in the wildlife preserve. which choice makes the sentence grammatically acceptable? f no change g its h ones j those

Explanation:

To determine the correct pronoun, we analyze the subject: "a pride of lions". A "pride" (a group) is a singular collective noun, so we need a singular possessive pronoun.

• Option F ("their") is plural, which doesn't agree with the singular "pride".
• Option G ("its") is a singular possessive pronoun, which agrees with "pride" (singular collective noun).
• Option H ("one’s") is used for a general person, not a group of lions.
• Option J ("those") is a plural demonstrative pronoun, not a possessive pronoun and doesn't fit.

Answer:

G. its
