Instructions

Test 6 covers pronoun-antecedent agreements (20 questions; 20 minutes). If an original text contains an error, choose the one that corrects it; if it is correct, choose NO CHANGE. 

For example,

Neither the child nor the parents shared their food.

  • Neither the child nor the parents shared his food.
  • Neither the child nor the parents shared her food.
  • Neither the child nor the parents shared its food.
  • NO CHANGE

Because the pronoun should agree with the closest part of the compound antecedent that is joined by nor, thus the possessive pronoun "their" for the plural noun antecedent, "parents." The correct answer is NO CHANGE.
