Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

President Truman assisted France by providing military equipment to help reestablish their presence and power in Vietnam.
  1. their
  2. there
  3. its
  4. it's
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “its”

“Their” is a plural possessive pronoun. France refers to one country; therefore, the sentence needs a singular pronoun. “There” is an adverb and “it’s” is a contraction of “it is.” “Its” is the singular possessive pronoun that properly completes the sentence.
