Question

Which pronoun agrees with the antecedent in the sentence?


Could one of the boys bring __________ keys?
A.their <---- i think its A cause it makes sense but im not sure
B.theirs
C.his or her
D.his

please help? will fan and medal

Answer 1

I think it would be A too. If you said could one of the boys bring his keys, it would work too, but it sounds a bit strange and B and C don't work because one is plural and one is saying her, when its all boys

Answer 2

What if it was \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm Could~the~boy~bring~\text{___} the~keys }\). Then would you be able to tell me?

Answer 3

it would be his @SolomonZelman

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

here it is essentially the same thing.
\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm "\underline{one}~of~the~the~boys" }\) is singular, not plural

Answer 6

I mean it is 1 person, not many

Answer 7

Also, you aren't asking in this sentences for all the boys to bring the keys, you are asking for one boy (out of these boys) to bring it.

Answer 8

So what is your answer?

Answer 9

D

Answer 10

yes, it is \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm \underline{his} }\)

Answer 11

If anything doesn't make sense to you, please ask.
