Question 7

If a person wants to travel to the moon, she must get a job at a space technology station.

This sentence demonstrates proper pronoun-antecedent agreement by ensuring that the singular antecedent "a person" is matched with the singular pronoun "she."

A) If people want to travel to the moon, he must get a job at a space technology station

This sentence is incorrect because the plural antecedent "people" does not agree with the singular pronoun "he." The pronoun should also be plural to match the antecedent.

B) If a person wants to travel to the moon, you must get a job at a space technology station

While "a person" is singular, the pronoun "you" does not agree with it in terms of number and person. The use of "you" is more informal and does not maintain consistency with the singular antecedent.

C) If a person wants to travel to the moon, she must get a job at a space technology station

This sentence correctly aligns the singular antecedent "a person" with the singular pronoun "she," demonstrating proper pronoun-antecedent agreement.

D) If people want to travel to the moon, you must get a job at a space technology station

This option is incorrect since "people" is a plural antecedent but is matched with the informal and non-specific pronoun "you." A plural pronoun should be used to maintain agreement.

Conclusion

The correct answer, option C, exemplifies proper pronoun-antecedent agreement by matching the singular antecedent with an appropriate singular pronoun. Options A, B, and D fail to maintain this agreement, resulting in grammatical inconsistencies that undermine the clarity and effectiveness of the sentences.
