Question

Choose the option that corrects the error in the "quote". If no error exists, choose "No change is necessary."

Bill, the foreman of the construction company, is concerned about the safety in the large building. "They have had" three accidents in the past week.

A. It has had
B. She has had
C. Members of the crew have had
D. No change is necessary.

D ???

Answer 1

Who are "they"?

Answer 2

D is not right. What is the antecedent of the pronoun "they?"

Answer 3

C, correct ?

Answer 4

That might be right, but we don't have enough information to know if it was members of the crew, visitors, or executives that had the accidents. Still look for the antecedent of "they."

Answer 5

Correct answer is A

Answer 6

a is not the correct answer

Answer 7

I agree with Ron. "They" is not specified. What we do know is we're talking about the construction company. "A"

Answer 8

A is wrong

Answer 9

I used C on my quiz and it was correct

Answer 10

The correct answer is. Since we don't know who "they" are

Answer 11

You are correct. None of the answer options provided give us a clear antecedent for the pronoun "they." The correct answer is "No change is necessary." It would be better if the speaker had clarified who "they" were before using the pronoun.

Answer 12

C

Answer 13

While option C provides a possible antecedent for "they," it is not necessarily the correct or most clear choice. Without more context, it is entirely possible that "they" refers to a different group of people or entities than "members of the crew." Additionally, option C significantly changes the meaning of the original sentence. Therefore, "No change is necessary" is the safer and more appropriate choice.
