The correct pronoun to replace the underlined word "Ms. Solvino" is option D. "him."
To determine which pronoun correctly replaces the underlined word, we need to identify the noun being referred to. In this case, the noun is "Ms. Solvino." We also need to consider the gender of the noun. Since "Ms. Solvino" is a female, we need to use a pronoun that refers to a female.
The correct pronoun is "her" (option A). This is because "her" is the objective form of the pronoun used when the noun being replaced is female.
To arrive at this answer, you can:
1. Identify the noun being referred to (Ms. Solvino).
2. Determine the gender of the noun (female).
3. Choose the pronoun that matches the gender and function (objective form) of the noun. In this case, "her" is the correct choice.
