Answer
A
_____ getting ready to ride.
B
Before _____ finished, Caleb and Nia will clean up.
C
Koala bears have two thumbs on each of _____ front paws.
D
The musicians tuned _____ instruments and began to play.
E
_____ wrapped up in fuzzy, warm blankets.
Explanation
They’re is a contraction of “they are,” so it fits where those words make a complete, sensible sentence. “They are getting ready to ride,” “Before they are finished,” and “They are wrapped up in fuzzy, warm blankets” all work. In the other sentences, the blanks need the possessive word “their”: their front paws and their instruments.
