Answer 1

The correct pronoun to fill in the blank is **B. their**.

The complete sentence would read: "Not all of these boys are acting in the play; some of their are helping with preparations for setting the stage."

However, the correct grammatical form is "some of them are helping," where "them" is the correct pronoun to refer back to "these boys."

So, the sentence should actually read: "Not all of these boys are acting in the play; some of them are helping with preparations for setting the stage."

But from the options provided, the most fitting choice for that context is **B. their** because it relates to boys (they).
