Get down to basics again:
who (s) ... his (s)
whom (s, but object form) ... (doesn't matter!)
everyone (s) ... their (pl)
everyone (s) ... their (pl)
It's A.
Identify the sentence with correct pronoun agreement.
(a) I know who parks his car illegally in the stall reserved for the provost.
(b) I know whom parks his car illegally in the stall reserved for the provost.
(c) Everyone at the building permit office wanted their application to be processed within a few working days.
(d) Everyone at the building permit office wanted their applications to be processed within a few working days.
I'm undecided between (c) and (d): Since speaking about everyone should applications be singular or plural?? (c) sounds better to me but is it correct in grammar?
