Answer to Question 1

B
The sentence that correctly illustrates the use of personal pronouns is Tammy likes her new
home because it's farther away from the city. The possessive pronoun its means belonging
to it or of it. The contraction it's means it is.

immediately before a gerund must be in the possessive.
