_______ having trouble with _______ new dog.

Question

TheEntryPass · Accepted Answer

C Rationale: They're having trouble with their new dog.

The contraction "they're" is used here to indicate "they are," which fits the context of someone having trouble. The word "their" is a possessive pronoun that correctly refers to ownership of the new dog. The option that uses "there" does not convey the intended meaning, as it refers to a location rather than possession or identity. Similarly, "there" and "their" serve different grammatical functions, making them unsuitable for this sentence. The correct choice maintains clarity by correctly using both a contraction for "they are" and a possessive form.
