Which is the correct sentence to follow the one below? the popular kids at randy's new school are supposed to be unfriendly to newcomers. a)because randy is cool, he'll probably soon have five times as many friends as they. b)because randy is cool, he'll probably soon have five times as many friends as them.

The answer is B. The word them in this case makes a lot more sense then the word they.
Hope this helps <3

Hi I will help you the best I can with this question. I agree with the person on that site (in comments above). You will hear "them" but the grammar should be "they". There seems to be a big debate on this project. Some people say that them would be correct, and some say that they would be the best. I would most say what I said above, that "them" is most commonly said but "they" is technically correct. Look at those links I gave you and hopefully I helped guide you to the correct answer. Sending oodles of luv have the best day EVAH! (:
