To determine the answer to this question, let's analyze the sentence and identify the antecedent and the appropriate pronoun to use.
First, we need to find a noun or a group of nouns (antecedent) that is "best known for oatmeal cookies." In other words, we are looking for a person or a group of people associated with oatmeal cookies.
Let's evaluate each option:
a. Jim; their - This option suggests that Jim is known for making oatmeal cookies, but it uses the pronoun "their," which implies multiple individuals. This does not align with the singular antecedent "Jim," so option a can be eliminated.
b. Martha; her - This option suggests that Martha is known for making oatmeal cookies, and it uses the pronoun "her," which corresponds to the singular antecedent "Martha." This option seems to be a possible fit.
c. The Smiths; their - This option suggests that the Smiths (a group of people) are known for making oatmeal cookies. It uses the pronoun "their," which aligns with the plural antecedent, "the Smiths." This option is also a possible fit.
d. Avery and Michelle; our - This option suggests that Avery and Michelle are known for making oatmeal cookies, but it uses the pronoun "our" which is inappropriate here. "Our" implies possession by the speaker, rather than identification of someone known for making oatmeal cookies. So option d can be eliminated.
Based on the above analysis:
The antecedent "Martha" can be filled in the first blank, and the pronoun "her" can be used in the second blank. Therefore, the correct answer is option b: Martha is best known for her oatmeal cookies.
