Select the best word for the blank in the following sentence: At the party, Fred asked ________ sister for a dance.
Correct answer
A
Rationale
In the sentence, the subject 'Fred' is male, so the possessive pronoun 'his' should be used to refer to his sister. Therefore, the correct answer is 'his'. Choices 'her' and 'their' are incorrect because they do not correctly match the possessive form for Fred's sister. 'My' is incorrect as it refers to the speaker's sister, not Fred's.
