Question

Select the choice which features proper pronoun-antecedent agreement.

A) Each of the contestants has its story to tell.
B) All of the contestants have their story to tell.
C) Each of the contestants has their story to tell.
D) All of the contestants have his or her story to tell.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter C. The statement: Each of the contestants has their story to tell is is the most grammatically correct sentence that follows the correct rules of antecdent agreement. "Each" always requires a singular antecedent, while the subject "contestants," requires the correct pronoun "their" instead of "its."

Answer 2

The right anser is "B) All of the contestants have their story to tell."

Explanation: The pronoun and the antecedent must be in agreement. In this case, in the sentence: "All of the contestants have their story to tell". The pronoun is "their" so the antecedent, has to be a name in the plural, so that there is conconcordancia in the phrase. The antecedent is "Contestants" which is a plural noun. Thus "contestants" and "their" are in agreement.
