Question

Which sentence has correct pronoun and ANTECEDENT agreement would it be because the brothers were tired he forgot to shut the gate, and the dog ran out or when the teachers arrived at school, she saw the students riding with chalk or Carol wanted to go outside, but it was raining and she could not find our rain jacket And lastly, would it be while the neighbors were walking to the store? They dropped their money and the wind blew it away.

Answer 1

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."

In this sentence, "they" correctly refers to "the neighbors," maintaining both pronoun and antecedent agreement.

The other sentences contain issues with pronoun and antecedent agreement:

1. "Because the brothers were tired, he forgot to shut the gate, and the dog ran out." (The pronoun "he" does not agree with the plural antecedent "brothers.")

2. "When the teachers arrived at school, she saw the students riding with chalk." (The pronoun "she" does not agree with the plural antecedent "teachers.")

3. "Carol wanted to go outside, but it was raining and she could not find our rain jacket." (The pronoun "our" does not agree with the singular antecedent "Carol.")

So, the fourth sentence is the only one that demonstrates correct agreement.
