12... vehicle(singular) is the antecedent of the pronoun... "them" is plural; "it" is singular.

13. Again, "presenters" is plural.
"his or her" is singular; "their" is plural.

14. "or" means one or the other, not both; therefore the antecedent is singular. "they" is plural; "it" is singular.

15. If any part of the subject is plural, then the antecedent is considered plural... so the pronoun must then be plural.

16. "Anyone" is one not many...so it is singular. Therefore, you need a singular pronoun.
