Question

antecedent=a thing or event that existed before or logically precedes another.
pronoun=a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this ).
Which pronoun agrees with the antecedent in the sentence?


Will each of the candidates share __________ thoughts?

A.
theirs

B.
his or hers

C.
their

D.
his or her

Answer 1

'Each' is singular, so the possessive pronoun must also be the singular 'his', rather than the plural 'their'.

Answer 2

If it said "will every one of the candidates" than you would use "share THEIR thoughts"

Answer 3

No, it would be "his or her thought's"

Answer 4

Sure thing

Answer 5

You're correct :)

Answer 6

It's C

Answer 10

Answer 12

In this case "B" because it mentions two people "Benjamin and Uncle Arthur" but say "he read aloud" so we don't know who read it (Benjamin or Uncle Arthur?)

Answer 13

Alright :)

Answer 14

Answer 15

C. is most confusing here, it says "I go to the thrift store" but then changes to "you can find amazing things there".

Answer 16

Yes

Answer 17

This is tricky but A only has two clear people (Amy and merrie) and "they" is relatively easy to understand

Answer 18

C seems pretty clear too

Answer 19

B is a little confusing because it says "they" expect people to keep "their" seatbelts fastened so it seems like the people want their own seatbelts kept fastened by someone else

Answer 20

Does that make sense why it should be B?

Answer 21

Meaning that B is most confusing. It has an unclear antecedent

Answer 29

No meaning it says "infinitive or infinitive phrase" but that's the same word

Answer 30

Answer 31
