The sentences that contain pronoun shifts are:

  1. The baker was disappointed when they burned the muffin batch. (The pronoun shifts from "the baker" which is singular to "they" which is plural.)
  2. I enjoy visiting Chicago, where you can go to Millennium Park. (The pronoun shifts from "I" to "you.")

These shifts create inconsistency in the pronouns used within the sentences.
