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

Japan wanted freedom from their dependency on the United States.

  1. their
  2. they’re
  3. its
  4. it’s
Explanation

Answer: C - The best choice is “its”

“Their” is a plural possessive pronoun. Japan refers to one country; therefore, the sentence needs a singular pronoun. “They’re” and “it’s” are contractions of “they are” and “it is” respectively. “Its” is the singular possessive form that properly completes the sentence.
