Which of these sentences uses pronouns correctly?
A-Both the girls had their own bicycle
B- All of the girls had her own bicycle
C- Each of the girls has their own bicycle
D- Few of the girls had her own bicycle.
Is it C?
Wouldn’t it be A?
stephanie is right guys if u were wondering
No. Each is singular. The pronoun also should be singular.
No, not C. The subject and the pronoun must match.
Both - plural
All - plural
Each - singular
Few - plural
Now make sure the pronoun right in front of "own" matches the subject.
Yes, the correct sentence that uses pronouns correctly is option C: "Each of the girls has their own bicycle."
To determine the correct answer, we need to make sure the pronouns agree in number and gender with their antecedents. In this case, the antecedent is "the girls," which refers to multiple individuals.
Option A ("Both the girls had their own bicycle") uses the pronoun "their" correctly, as it is the plural possessive pronoun, agreeing with the plural noun "girls." However, the verb "had" should be replaced with "have" to agree with the subject "the girls."
Option B ("All of the girls had her own bicycle") uses the pronoun "her," which is singular, but it should be plural to match the noun "girls."
Option C ("Each of the girls has their own bicycle") correctly uses the singular pronoun "each" to agree with the singular noun "girls." Additionally, the pronoun "their" is used, which is a gender-neutral singular pronoun. This avoids wrongly assuming the gender of the girls.
Option D ("Few of the girls had her own bicycle") uses the pronoun "her," which is singular, but it should be plural to match the noun "girls." Additionally, it is more appropriate to use a gender-neutral plural pronoun like "their" instead of assuming the gender with "her."
To sum up, option C is the correct sentence because it uses the correct pronouns that agree in number and gender with their antecedents.
