5941. Every father needs to take a break for him now and again in order to stay healthy.
- A. Every father
- B. to take a break
- C. for him
- D. stay healthy.
Explanation: Replace "him" with "himself".The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "him" instead of the reflexive pronoun "himself." When referring to the subject of the sentence (in this case, "Every father"), a reflexive pronoun is used to indicate that the action is directed back to the subject. Therefore, replacing "him" with "himself" makes the sentence grammatically correct.
Correct answer: for him5942. From their postcard it sounds as if they're really enjoying them.
- A. it
- B. as if
- C. they're
- D. them
Explanation: Replace "them" with "themselves":The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "them" instead of the reflexive pronoun "themselves."

- B. You, I and he send each other birthday cards every year.
- C. I, he, and you send one another other birthday cards every year.
- D. You, he, and I send one another birthday cards every year.
Explanation: Reasons why other options are incorrect:A) grammatically places "each other" after the verb "send," which is not the typical subject-verb-object order in English. Additionally, "each other" can be ambiguous as it could imply only two people sending cards, not necessarily all three.B) also suffers from the same grammatical issue as option A and the potential ambiguity of "each other."C) is grammatically incorrect as "one another" should not be repeated. Additionally, starting the sentence with "I" might seem to emphasize your role in the action, which might not be the intended meaning.
Correct answer: You, he, and I send one another birthday cards every year.
