Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. It.

  • The sentence talks about passing the 'magic shop'.
  • Since 'magic shop' is a singular subject and a non-living thing, 'it' is the appropriate pronoun for it.
  • 'Them' and 'these' are plural pronouns.
  • 'This' is used for demonstration.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
