Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"My brother′s daughter" is singular, so the pronoun must be singular. We can eliminate the plural pronoun "they".
he
they
her
she
It is also the subject in the sentence, so the pronoun must be in the subjective case. We can eliminate the objective case pronoun "her".
he
they
her
she
We also know that the pronoun should be feminine since the antecedent is "daughter. We can eliminate "he".
he
they
her
