Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The blank is the subject, so we need to use the subjective form of the pronoun. We can eliminate the objective case pronoun "her". This leaves us with "she", "he" and "they."
they
her
she
he
We also know that the pronoun is singular because the verb hates is a singular verb. We can eliminate "they" because it is a plural verb. This leaves us with he or she.
they
her
she
he
The best answer is she because the pronoun in the second sentence (her) refers back to the subject and is feminine.
they
her
she
he
