I shall finish . . . . . . . . who are absent. A. him B. them C. those D. these

The correct answer is: B. them

The pronoun “them” is used to refer to a plural noun or pronoun that is not already mentioned. In this case, the plural noun is “students”. The students who are absent are not already mentioned, so the pronoun “them” is used to refer to them.

The pronoun “him” is used to refer to a singular male noun or pronoun. The pronoun “those” is used to refer to a plural noun or pronoun that is already mentioned. The pronoun “these” is used to refer to a plural noun or pronoun that is close to the speaker.

Here are some examples of how the pronoun “them” can be used:

• I saw them at the store.
• I gave them the book.
• They are my friends.

I hope this helps!
