50. Everyone should mind their own business.

(singular "everyone" takes the singular pronoun "his or her", but using "their" as a singular gender-neutral pronoun has become more common and accepted)

51. You and I are going to the store together.

("You and me" is incorrect; when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, use "I" instead of "me")

52. I will not call on anyone who is not raising their hand.

("Whom" is incorrect; use "who" as it is the subject of the verb "is raising")

53. Did you see the way she looked at her?

("Her" is correct; "she" is the subject form of the pronoun, while "her" is the object form and is correct in this sentence)
