have a great day everyone :P
:p is also 100% if you want to see the answers
I feel like 14 should be 'him' it would sound so much better.
And 16 should be 'their', it would just make sense that way, but no, why would English ever want to make sense?

You are correct. It makes absolutely no sense why gender-neutral pronouns aren't normal anymore like they were in the 15-1700s. Not only is it more inclusive, but it is also just.. well, easier. No need to worry about two separate main pronoun groups, (She her, He him) but just one instead (They, Them, Theirs.)
