Jear n'est pas encore aifive,en retard.
Answer Details
To complete the French sentence "Jear n'est pas encore arrivé, ____ en retard," we need to determine the correct subject pronoun that matches the context and the noun "Jear." In French, pronouns are used to replace nouns and must agree in gender and number. Here are the options explained:
nous: This pronoun means "we" in English. "Nous" would not be suitable as we are talking about a single individual named Jear.
il: This pronoun means "he" in English. "Il" is appropriate here if "Jear" is a male's name, as it agrees in gender and number.
elle: This pronoun means "she" in English. "Elle" would be appropriate if "Jear" were a female's name, but given the likely context, "il" is more typical.
ils: This pronoun means "they" in English, referring to a group that includes at least one male. "Ils" would only be appropriate if more than one person is being spoken about, which is not the case here.
Given that "Jear" is likely a male name and since the sentence refers to a single person, the best option to complete the sentence is the pronoun "il". Therefore, the completed sentence would be "Jear n'est pas encore arrivé, il en retard," meaning "Jear has not arrived yet, he is late."
