Pa Agreement SAT 3

the proper possessive pronoun for the antecedent 'the boys' is 'their"

the antecedent is "the students', so the proper pronoun that agrees (and is correctly spelled) is "their".

'mother' is a singular feminine noun, so the proper pronoun is 'her"

if 'jury' were there alone, then its would be correct; however, the antecedent is 'members of the jury' so we need plural pronoun "their"

If the subject is I, you could use either I or me- to determine which is correct, delete everything else from the sentence except where the second pronoun operates- "me could get an extension of my paper' is clearly incorrect, so use "I"

'each person' does not match up with 'their', so it creates an agreement problem. 'their' is a plural possesive pronoun, and only used to connote possession for unified groups, not large groups that are individualized and not gender specific.

"no parent' does no match in agreement with "their"- it concerns individual parents, so it needs singulary pronoun. (the semicolon correctly separates two independent clauses in this sentence, not a colon)

"everyone" is treated as a singular noun, so the proper pronoun would be "his or her"

Angel is later referred to as a feminine name, so 'his' in the first part of the sentence doesn't agree in gender. The other corrections incorrectly use punctuation- semicolons don't precede a coordinating conjunction like 'but', and colons indicate upcoming items in a series, which we do not see.

Tip- consider the underlined portion of the sentence with the full context of the sentence, since the unchangeable parts of the sentence (the non- underlined parts) are correct.

'the crowd' is a collective noun, and as such, refers to a singular, unified entity. Thus, pronouns that refer to it must be singular 'its' not plural 'their'
