This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read A Dead Woman's Secret

By Guy de Maupassant

1880

How do the siblings' reactions to their mother's  letters contribute to the theme of the text?

The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

The siblings are angered after learning about their real  father, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  honest with others.

The brother condemns their mother but the sister  sympathizes with her, contributing to the theme of  forgiving loved ones.

The siblings are shocked but still watch over their  mother, contributing to the theme that it is best to be  loyal to family.

Answer: The siblings are shocked, contributing to the theme that  people are not always as they seem.

Explanation:

Through the letter, the siblings find out that their assumed virtuous mother had at least one love affair. After being raised by the now-deceased woman, who inculcated them a strict code of morality and religiosity to such extent that Marguerite had become a nun and the son a flawless magistrate, this discovery makes them furious, and they angrily leave her.

Which possessive pronoun best completes the following sentence?
lara [203]

Answer:

Peter and Paulette raked the leaves in <u>their</u> front yard.

Explanation:

Possessive pronouns show possession or ownership in a sentence. There are two types: Absolute possessive pronouns, namely, mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, and theirs. And possessive adjectives, namely, my, your, his, her, its, our, your, and their; unlike, absolute possessive pronouns, possessive adjectives are always placed next to a noun.

So, with this definition, we can easily discard option 2 "them." because it is not a possessive pronoun.

Now, in the sentence, the possessive pronoun that should be in the blank is one that refers to both Peter and Paulette, that is to say, to the third-person plural. "Her" and "his" refers to the third-person singular, and "their" refers to the third-person singular,l, so the correct answer is definitely "their."
