Fill in the blank with a suitable pronoun: She has gone to Aizawl, ______ is her birthplace.
A)
which
B)
that
C)
where
D)
what
Step-by-step reasoning: 1. The sentence consists of two clauses: 'She has gone to Aizawl' and 'is her birthplace'. 2. The blank requires a relative pronoun to connect these clauses and refer back to the noun 'Aizawl'. 3. In this sentence, the relative pronoun acts as the subject of the second clause ('___ is her birthplace'). 4. 'Which' is used to introduce a non-defining relative clause that provides additional information about a place or thing. 5. 'That' (Option b) cannot be used after a comma in a non-defining relative clause. 6. 'Where' (Option c) is a relative adverb used to indicate location, but it cannot function as the subject of the following verb ('is'); if 'where' were used, the sentence would need a subject (e.g., 'where she was born'). 7. 'What' (Option d) is used for things that are not specifically named and cannot refer back to a proper noun like 'Aizawl'. Therefore, 'which' is the grammatically correct choice.
