In question below fill the gap with the appropriate option:

Baba and _____ participated in the tournament

Answer Details
To determine the correct option to fill in the blank, we need to identify the grammatical role of the missing word in the sentence. In this sentence, "Baba and _____ participated in the tournament," the missing word is the subject pronoun, which refers to a person who participated in the tournament along with Baba. Out of the given options, "him" is an object pronoun used for the object of the verb or preposition. Therefore, it cannot be used as a subject pronoun in this sentence. "His" is a possessive pronoun used to show ownership or possession. Since we are talking about a person who participated in the tournament, "his" would not be appropriate as it indicates possession and not the person themselves. "He" is a subject pronoun used for a male person. It is appropriate to use in the given sentence to refer to another male person who participated in the tournament along with Baba. "He's" is a contraction of "he is" or "he has." It cannot be used as a subject pronoun in this sentence. Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blank is "he." Thus, the sentence becomes "Baba and he participated in the tournament."
