Revise the following paragraph for correct pronoun agreement.

Everyone is excited for the pep rally. Katie and Jill are in charge of blowing up the balloons, her least favorite task. They hate how the balloons have to be completely full or it won't float. On the other side of the gym, Sam is practicing the cheer routine. If she doesn't practice, you could embarrass yourself. The last to arrive are Brynn and Avery with the shirts to give away. As long as everyone does her part, the pep rally will be a success.

Answer:

Their, it, she^2+herself

Step-by-step explanation:

The other guy is correct but, Katie and Jill are two people so it is "their", Balloons are "it" because Balloons are inanimate objects meaning that balloons aren't alive. Since Sam isn't the narrarator, it would be both she and, herself.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above answer has been correctly reviewed and revised to their correct pronoun agreement.

A pronoun agreement occurs when a pronoun agrees with its antecedent in number, gender, or place.

From the sample given, there are instances where the pronoun does not agree with its antecedent, such as "If she doesn't practice, you could embarrass yourself" which is corrected to, "If she doesn't practice, she could embarrass herself"
