Question

Which sentence correctly uses a pronoun with a collective noun?

a.
The team won his game.

b.
The team won its game.

c.
The team won her game.

d.
The team won their game.

Answer 1

The correct sentence that uses a pronoun with a collective noun is:

b. The team won its game.

In this case, "team" is a collective noun that is treated as a single unit, so the singular pronoun "its" is appropriate.
