47. Which word is NOT USED CORRECTLY in the sentence? They're going to the mall to pick up their uniforms for there coach.
Answer: D
D is not used correctly in the sentence.
The word "there" is incorrect in this context; it should be replaced with "their" to indicate possession of the uniforms by the coach.
A) Their
The word "their" is used correctly in the sentence as it denotes possession, indicating that the uniforms belong to the coach. Therefore, this option is not the answer.
B) Going
The word "going" is also used correctly in the sentence as it describes the action of the subject. It indicates movement towards the mall, making this option correct.
C) They're
"They're" is used correctly in the sentence as a contraction of "they are." It appropriately describes the subjects who are going to the mall, so this option is not the answer.
D) There
"There" is incorrect in this context as it refers to a place rather than possession. The correct word should be "their," which shows that the uniforms belong to the coach. Thus, this option is the one that is not used correctly.
Conclusion
The word "there" fails to convey the intended meaning of possession in the sentence, making it the incorrect choice. In contrast, "their," "going," and "they're" are all used appropriately, reinforcing that D is definitively the answer. Understanding the distinction between these terms is crucial for proper grammar.
