Which of the following options represents the correct grammatical choices for the underlined portion of the sentence?

  1. A
    I that if you want to temper chocolate successfully, you're
  2. B
    me that if you want to temper chocolate successfully, you're
  3. me that if you want to temper chocolate successfully, yourCevap
  4. D
    I that if you want to temper chocolate successfully, your

Cevap

The correct answer is the option that replaces the underlined portion with 'me that if you want to temper chocolate successfully, your'.
The correct option uses the objective pronoun 'me' because it serves as part of the compound direct object of the action verb 'instructed'. It also correctly uses the possessive pronoun 'your' to modify the noun phrase 'temperature readings'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the correct case for the pronoun in the compound object 'the apprentice and...'.
The pronoun is part of the direct object of the verb 'instructed', so it must be in the objective case ('me' instead of 'I').
Direct objects receive the action of the verb and require the objective case.
2
Select the correct word to modify 'temperature readings'.
The possessive pronoun 'your' is needed rather than the contraction 'you're'.
'You're' is the contraction of 'you are', which does not fit grammatically before 'temperature readings'. 'Your' correctly shows possession.
