C. her mother on my

D. my mother on their

Answer 2

The answer to the question above would be the following one: the pronoun agreement in the sentence should be changed to "Tom often joined his mother on her sailing adventures" (B). The fact is that Tom is only one person so the pronoun should be singular as well ("his" instead of "their") and the one doing the sailing is the mother. Therefore, the pronoun's gender should be female ("her" instead of "his").
