Answer 3

The sentence with correct pronoun-antecedent agreement is:

Mrs. Smith was excited to teach her class.

In this sentence, "her" correctly refers to the antecedent "Mrs. Smith," which is singular and female.

The other sentences have issues with pronoun-antecedent agreement:

• "The brothers were getting along so well that he decided..." (should be "they" instead of "he")
• "The raindrops poured down, and it drenched the yard." (should be "they" instead of "it")
• "The twins laughed so hard she cried." (should be "they" instead of "she")

• "The clouds swiftly moves across the sky." (should be "move" instead of "moves")
• "My teachers often gives homework on the weekend." (should be "give" instead of "gives")
