Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"My parents" is third person (we are talking about someone) plural, so the pronoun must be third-person plural.
It is also the direct object in the sentence, so the pronoun must be in the objective case.
They = third-person | plural | subjective case
Us = first-person | plural |objective case
Themselves = third-person | plural | reflexive
Them = third-person | plural | objective case
"Them" is third-person, plural and in the objective case, so it is the correct answer.
