Pronoun Agreement and Reference

Question 18 • RMA FL-1001370-English 3 Semester 1

Select the best revision of the sentence to ensure pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Answer
A
Half of the tigers at the zoo eat raw meat at their noontime meal.
B
Half of the tiger at the zoo eats raw meat at its noontime meal.
C
Half tigers at the zoo eat raw meat at its noontime meal.

Explanation

“Tigers” is plural, so the plural pronoun “their” correctly refers back to it. Choice A also uses the plural verb “eat” to agree with “tigers.” Choice B has an awkward singular “half of the tiger,” while choice C pairs plural “tigers” with singular “its.”
