Question 9 • English Language Arts 9

Which sentence contains a pronoun shift?

Answer

B
If one eats sensibly, he or she can expect to feel better.
C
If runners want to win, she should practice frequently.
D
When employees park in the garage, they must pay, too.

Explanation

Choice C shifts from the plural noun “runners” to the singular pronoun “she.” The pronoun should agree with the plural noun, as in “If runners want to win, they should practice frequently.” The other sentences keep their pronouns consistent with their antecedents.
