Read the paragraph.

[1] Our house was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. [2] It was common for an enslaved person to stop there on their way to the North. [3] The Underground Railroad were a network of hiding places. [4] The cellar beneath our house has a secret door that was installed to trick slave catchers.

Which sentence has a pronoun-antecedent agreement error?

Answer 1

The sentence that contains an error associated with the pronoun-antecedent agreement would be:

- Sentence 2

• Among the given options, the second sentence contains a 'pronoun-antecedent agreement error' because it wrongly uses the plural antecedent 'their' to refer to the singular noun.
• Since the noun that is being referred to in the sentence is singular('an enslaved person'), the correct antecedent to be used would be a singular pronoun i.e. 'his or her.'
• This makes the pronoun and its antecedent agree with each other in number and makes it correct.

Thus, sentence 2 is the correct answer.
