Answer 2

The sentence with corrected pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

**Mrs. Smith was excited to teach her class.**

In this sentence, the pronoun "her" correctly agrees with the antecedent "Mrs. Smith." The other sentences contain errors in pronoun-antecedent agreement.

Answer 3

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!
