Question 7 • English I

Read the sentence. Over the course of one’s lifetime, we can expect to eat an average of seventy insects. Which statement best describes this sentence?

Answer
A
The pronoun “we” does not match its antecedent “one” in person or number.
B
The pronoun “one” does not match its antecedent “we” in number or case.
C
The pronoun “one” does not match its antecedent “we” in person or number.
D
The pronoun “we” does not match its antecedent “one” in number or case.

Explanation

The sentence begins with “one’s,” referring to a person in the singular, but then shifts to “we,” a first-person plural pronoun. This creates a mismatch in both person and number. Choice A correctly identifies that “we” does not match its antecedent “one.”
