Question
Each of the boys refused help, saying that _________ would eat on__________ own.
- He, his
- They, their
- We, our
Hint:
Pronouns should agree in number, person and gender with their antecedents. If the antecedent is singular, the pronoun should be singular. If the antecedent is plural, the pronoun should plural.
The correct answer is: He, his
The noun or noun substitute that a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent. When the antecedents are plural then the pronoun should be plural. 'Each of the boys refused help, saying that they would eat on their own', here' each' is the antecedent and this is always singular, so it takes a plural pronoun, it is they and their because it is referring males only.
