The sentences that contain pronoun shifts are:

  1. "The baker was disappointed when they burned the muffin batch."
  2. "The bird landed on the feeder when it saw the food."

In the first sentence, there is a shift from the singular "the baker" to the plural pronoun "they." In the second sentence, while "it" refers to "the bird," there is no true shift, as "it" remains consistent with the singular noun "bird." However, "they" in the first sentence does not align with "baker." If the task is solely to identify shifts rather than to only choose two examples, only the first sentence fits the criteria for a pronoun shift.

I apologize if my previous response was unclear or incorrect. To clarify, only one of the sentences contains a pronoun shift:

  1. "The baker was disappointed when they burned the muffin batch." (The pronoun shifts from the singular "the baker" to the plural "they.")

In the other sentences, the pronouns are consistent with their antecedents. If there are other questions or if you would like to provide clarification, please let me know!
