  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. me that if one wants to protect one's eyes, oneCevap
  3. C
    I that if you want to protect your eyes, you
  4. D
    me that if one wants to protect it's lens, one

Cevap

The correct choice is the option that replaces the underlined text with 'me that if one wants to protect one's eyes, one'.
The correct option correctly uses the objective pronoun 'me' because it functions as the direct object of the verb 'told' within the compound object 'the assistant and me'. It also maintains consistent third-person perspective by using 'one's' and 'one' to refer back to the indefinite pronoun 'one', preventing an incorrect shift in person.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the correct case for the pronoun in the compound object.
The compound phrase 'the assistant and [pronoun]' serves as the direct object of the action verb 'told'. Therefore, the pronoun must be in the objective case ('me') rather than the subjective case ('I').
Direct objects receive the action of the verb and require objective case pronouns.
2
Identify and correct any pronoun person shifts.
The dependent clause begins with the third-person indefinite pronoun 'one'. The subsequent pronouns in the clause must remain in the third person ('one's' and 'one') to maintain consistency, avoiding a shift to the second-person 'your' or 'you'.
Pronoun person must remain consistent within a sentence to avoid confusing shifts in perspective.
3
Check the remaining options for spelling and homophone errors.
The option containing 'it's' uses a contraction ('it is') instead of the possessive pronoun 'its', which makes it grammatically incorrect.
Possessive pronouns do not use apostrophes, whereas contractions do.
