A) everyone, their
B) all,their
C) everyone,his
D) everybody,their
Kindly give reason for the answer.

Answer 1

B IS the answer but I can't give the reason

Answer 2

I shall be glad to help all of my boys in their studies. (Option B)

• Since the word 'of' has been used in the sentence, the first blank will be filled by all.
• Everyone and everybody cannot be followed by 'of'.
• Similarly, the person will help all the boys in their studies, not just one boy.
• The correct sentence means that the person will help all the boys with their studies.
• So, option B is relevant.
