Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this sentence, the subject of the verb "would retire" is "Erik and Terence." Therefore, the correct pronoun to refer back to them is "they." "Them" is an object pronoun and cannot be used as the subject of the sentence. "Their" is a possessive pronoun and does not make sense in this sentence.
