Yes, I am sure. The sentence "Mrs. Smith was excited to teach her class" correctly demonstrates pronoun-antecedent agreement, as "her" refers back to "Mrs. Smith," which is consistent in gender and number.
Here’s a brief review of the other sentences for clarity:
1. **The twins laughed so hard she cried.**
- Error: "Twins" (plural) does not agree with "she" (singular).
2. **The brothers were getting along so well that he decided to go on a bike ride together.**
- Error: "Brothers" (plural) does not agree with "he" (singular).
3. **The raindrops poured down, and it drenched the yard.**
- While "raindrops" (plural) does not directly match with "it" (singular), this sentence retains a sense of unity in terms of "raindrops" referring to a collective effect. However, it's less about strict agreement than a stylistic choice.
Out of the options provided, "Mrs. Smith was excited to teach her class" is the only one with proper pronoun-antecedent agreement. Thank you for your patience!
