Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tomatoes is third-person because we are talking about them.
It is also plural (there is more than one tomato), so the pronoun must be plural.
Finally, it is the direct object in the sentence (it tells us who or what after the verb), so the pronoun must be in the objective case.
their = third-person | plural | possessive
they = third-person | plural |subjective
them = third-person | plural |objective
themselves = third-person | plural | reflexive
Them is third-person, plural, and in the objective case, so it is the correct answer.
