Question

identify the sentence with correct pronoun usage.
pronouns are words we use to substitute nouns.
example of pronouns: he, she, they, we, it
me and my classmates studied
for the exam together.
each student must complete his
or her assignment by friday.
between you and i, the project
may not be completed on time.
the committee made their
decision after lengthy deliberation.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Analyze "Me and my classmates studied for the exam together": In subject position, "me" is incorrect; should be "I and my classmates" (or "My classmates and I").
  2. Analyze "Each student must complete his or her assignment by Friday": "Each student" is singular, and "his or her" correctly agrees in number and is appropriate for gender - neutral reference.
  3. Analyze "Between you and I, the project may not be completed on time": After "between", we need objective case, so "I" should be "me" (correct: "Between you and me...").
  4. Analyze "The committee made their decision after lengthy deliberation": "Committee" is a collective noun, and when referring to it as a single unit, the pronoun should be "its" (not "their").

Answer:

B. Each student must complete his or her assignment by Friday
