The sentence that has correct pronoun and antecedent agreement is:
• While the neighbors were walking to the store, they dropped their money and the wind blew it away.
To determine which sentence has correct pronoun and antecedent agreement, we need to identify the pronouns and their antecedents in each sentence.
In Sentence 1: "Because the brothers were tired, he forgot to shut the gate and the dog ran out." Here, the pronoun "he" is being used to refer to the noun "brothers." However, this is incorrect because "brothers" is plural, while "he" is singular. There is a mismatch in the agreement.
In Sentence 2: "While the neighbors were walking to the store, they dropped their money and the wind blew it away." In this sentence, the pronoun "they" correctly refers to the plural noun "neighbors." Additionally, "it" correctly refers back to the singular noun "money." The agreement between pronouns and their antecedents is correct in this sentence.
In Sentence 3: "When the teachers arrived at school, she saw the students writing with chalk." In this case, the pronoun "she" does not agree with the noun "teachers" because "teachers" is plural, while "she" is singular. There is a mismatch in the agreement.
In Sentence 4: "Carol wanted to go outside, but it was raining and she could not find our rain jacket." Here, the pronoun "it" correctly refers to the singular noun "raining," and "she" refers to the noun "Carol." The agreement between pronouns and their antecedents is correct in this sentence.
Therefore, the second sentence, "While the neighbors were walking to the store, they dropped their money and the wind blew it away," has correct pronoun and antecedent agreement.
