Q/A : 01

A. they terminated the agreement.
B. they decided to terminate the agreement.
C. it terminated the agreement.
D. it was terminated.
E. it decided the agreement was terminated.

Rule :
It is a pronoun related question. Netherland=they, is it correct or wrong?
In general, It (pronoun) should be used for a country. In poetic sense, we may use she.
"Bangladesh has always been proud of her language."

Answer :
According to above rule, we may Eliminate (A) and (B). (D) terminates the Netherlands instead of agreement, so eliminate it. (E) is passive, so the best choose is (C).
