Analyzing Different Interpretations of a Sonnet — Unit test

Question 4 • MO-English Language Arts 10 A-CR

Which sentence contains an error in pronoun-antecedent agreement?

Answer
A
Marcus and I have a test next week, so we plan to meet on Saturday.
B
If attendees have questions, she should stop at the information counter.
C
Megan and Addy take the same classes, and they like studying together.
D
If that is the student’s goal, they should plan to accomplish it soon.

Explanation

“Attendees” refers to multiple people, but “she” is singular, so the pronoun does not agree with its antecedent. The sentence could say “they should stop” to match the plural noun. Therefore, the sentence with the error is “If attendees have questions, she should stop at the information counter.”
