Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option C i.e. and found their missing.

  • The error lies in part C of the statement because of the wrong use of the Pronoun.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "their" with "them" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the "found" is verb after that we need to use an object (objective case).
  • As the subject is plural the objective case of it will be plural "them".

The correct sentence will be-

I visited my grandpa and grandma's house and found them missing.
