Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: their
Explanation:
"their" is a possessive determiner that modifies the noun "sweaters" and agrees with the plural subject "all girls and boys."
"our" is first-person plural and "your" is second-person, so neither matches the third-person plural subject in this sentence.
"theirs" is a possessive pronoun used without a following noun, so it cannot be placed directly before "sweaters." A determiner like "their" is required here.
Example: All girls and boys must carry their sweaters with them on the trek.
