Question
- identify and revise the error in the following sentence to achieve proper pronoun-antecedent agreement. the boys took his baseball cards to school. the boys took my baseball cards to school. the boys took their baseball cards to school. the boys took the baseball cards to school. the boys took the boys baseball cards to school.
Brief Explanations
To achieve pronoun - antecedent agreement, the antecedent "the boys" (plural) needs a plural possessive pronoun. "His" is singular, while "their" is plural and matches "the boys". The first option changes the pronoun to "my" (not matching the antecedent), the third removes the possessive aspect, and the fourth is redundant with "the boys'". So the correct option uses "their" to agree with "the boys".
