Question 6 • English Language Arts 9

Read the sentence. Each of the customers received its own souvenir cup and T-shirt. Choose the sentence that corrects the pronoun shift in this sentence.

Answer
A
Each of the customers received them own souvenir cup and T-shirt.
B
Each of the customers received his or her own souvenir cup and T-shirt.
C
Each of the customers received our own souvenir cup and T-shirt.
D
Each of the customers received their own souvenir cup and T-shirt.

Explanation

“Each” refers to one customer at a time, so the pronoun should agree with that singular meaning. “His or her own” refers to each individual customer and fits the sentence. “Their” is plural in traditional subject-pronoun agreement, while “its” is generally used for things or animals, not people.
