Nobody on the Tri Rail seems to know ________ way around Miami.
A) their
B) his
C) there
D) his or her
Hint: Nobody is singular.
his or her are singular, correct? Or are they looking for b?
Since we don't know the gender of "nobody," D is the best answer.
A) their
Well, nobody on the Tri Rail seems to know their way around Miami? Maybe they've taken a wrong turn at Albu-quer-que!
The correct answer is A) their.
To find the correct answer, we need to understand the context and use our knowledge of grammar and language conventions.
The phrase "Nobody on the Tri Rail" indicates that we are talking about multiple people. Since we are referring to a group of people, we need to use a plural pronoun to match.
Option B) "his" is a singular pronoun and does not match the plural noun "nobody."
Option C) "there" is an adverb that refers to a place or location, and it does not make sense in this context.
Option D) "his or her" is also singular and would only be correct if we were referring to a single person.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) "their," which is a plural pronoun that matches the plural noun "nobody" and is used to refer to multiple people.
