Question 19 • GA-Literature and Composition III A

Read the paragraph.[1] Our house was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. [2] The conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman, was known for their bravery. [3] It was common for an enslaved person to stop there while traveling North. [4] The Underground Railroad was a network of hiding places. Which sentence has a pronoun-antecedent agreement error?

Answer
A
sentence 1
B
sentence 2
C
sentence 3
D
sentence 4

Explanation

In sentence 2, “their” refers to Harriet Tubman, a single person. The pronoun should agree with its singular antecedent, so the sentence should use “her bravery.” Therefore, sentence 2 has the pronoun-antecedent agreement error.
