Rewrite the following paragraph, replacing the nouns in parentheses with pronouns.

Have you ever received an untimely call from a phone solicitor? I have. However, (1)___________ (the phone call) can be quite entertaining. One measure you might take is to answer every question with another question. For example, if (2) ___________ (the solicitor) wants to sell you an insurance plan, ask (3) ___________ (the solicitor) where the insurance company started and how many customers they have. Because the pestering caller is probably misrepresenting the product being sold, I never have a problem misrepresenting myself. After (4) ___________ (the reader) agree to buy the plan, the caller wants your billing information. You can tell the caller that your social security number has 47 digits and the letter “w” as well. Be sure to start reciting it before (5) ___________ (the solicitor) can argue. Claiming to be a minor, which always makes the billing process difficult, can make the call interesting as well.


1. it;
2. they;
3. them;
4. it;
5. he or she.
