When the little boy grabbed the lizard, _ tail broke off in __ hand.

🧠 Explanation:

• The sentence requires possessive pronouns to show ownership — the tail belongs to the lizard, and the hand belongs to the boy.
• “Its” is the correct possessive form of “it” (referring to the lizard), while “his” correctly refers to the boy’s hand.
• Option (A) “It/him” is incorrect because “it” is not possessive, and “him” is objective, not possessive.
• Therefore, the grammatically correct and meaningful sentence is: “When the little boy grabbed the lizard, its tail broke off in his hand.”
