The fourth sentence is: "She was embarrassed when she found that they had been put back on the shelves."
In this sentence, we have:
- Personal pronouns: "She" (two instances) and "they" (one instance).
- No possessive pronouns are present.
Thus, the correct answer is: **two personal pronouns and one possessive pronoun**.
However, since there are no possessive pronouns in the sentence, this option is misleading. The correct answer based only on personal pronouns would be **three personal subject pronouns**. However, based on the options you provided, options seem to misrepresent the contents of the sentence. The clearest description from the options available would be **two personal pronouns and one possessive pronoun**, but none of the options correctly characterize the sentence.
