Question

Please help edit this paragraph.

We girls sent invitations to our relatives. Practically everyone came! Aunt Amanda and Uncle Mike helped a lot. Of all our relatives, my favorites are they.

I think you change they to them, but I am not sure. My other options are changing they to

A. him and her
B.her and he
C. no change
D.them

Answer 1

You would use "them" if that word were a direct object or object of a preposition. But it is neither.

So D is out. What else do you think?

Answer 2

Then I would go with no change. Correct? Thanks.

Answer 3

Frankly, I would change the wording around:
"Of all of our relatives, they are my favorites."

The only other correct choice is B, but that sounds terrible, too.

Answer 4

C. no change would also work.

But, I agree, that is terrible wording.

Answer 5

thank you.
