In the passage about Tibetan Buddhist monks, which word correctly completes all three blanks?

• A. Us
• B. We
• C. Our
• D. They

Answer: (A)

Choosing the right pronoun form for object position is what this item tests. All three blanks are places where the pronoun should receive the action or follow a preposition, so they require an object pronoun. The only option that fits is the object form "us," which correctly acts as the receiver in each of those spots. The other forms don’t fit because they’re not used as objects: "we" is a subject pronoun used for the doer of the action, not the receiver; "our" is a possessive determiner/pronoun and can’t stand alone as an object; "they" is another subject pronoun. So using "us" keeps the sentences grammatical and consistent across all three blanks.
