Molly hasn’t got your money. Jack hasn’t got ________ . ?

Explanation

The sentence "Molly hasn’t got your money. Jack hasn’t got ________." requires a word or phrase that correctly completes the thought in a parallel structure. The options presents contrasting words that refer back to "money" in the first sentence.

In this context, the word "them" refers to "money," which is treated as a collective singular noun in the first sentence, but when indicating that Jack also does not have anything of the same kind, "them" implies that there is no money for Jack as well. The use of "either" implies that Jack's situation is similar to Molly’s, indicating a shared negation.

Option A ("it, too") is incorrect because "it" implies a singular item, while "too" suggests an additional affirmative statement, contradicting the negative context.

Option B ("them, too") mixes a plural pronoun with a positive context, making it less suitable.

Option C ("it, either") introduces a singular noun with a negative, which doesn’t parallel the first statement correctly.

Therefore, Option D ("them, either") maintains grammatical consistency and effectively communicates that Jack, like Molly, lacks money, which makes it the correct choice.
