Question
Each of these great men is known for having left __________ mark on the world.
- Their
- His
- Her
Hint:
Pronouns should agree in number, person, and gender with their antecedents. If the antecedents is singular, the pronoun should be singular. If the antecedent is plural, the pronoun should be plural.
The correct answer is: His
The noun or noun substitute that a pronoun refers to is called its antecedent. When the antecedents are preceded by each or every, the pronoun should be singular. 'Each of these great men is known for having left his mark in the world', here 'each' is the antecedent and this is always singular, so it takes a singular pronoun 'his'. It is his because it is referring to males only.
