Question

Which sentence has an incorrect shift in pronoun-antecedent agreement? A) Each teacher needs to be paired up. B) Each man needs to carry his own load. C) Each of these women runs their own business. D) Each child should bring his or her own lunch.

Answer 1

The answer is c: Each of these women runs their own business. The correct use for pronoum-antecedent agreement in this sentence is putting the possessive adjective her, because each of + women has a singular verb and her is the possessive for she.   Each of these women runs her own business. Another sentence would be different: Each of these people has their own business.
