Circle the incorrect pronoun shift. Rewrite the sentence correctly.

English
1 answer:
LiRa [457]1 year ago
8 0

The incorrect pronoun shift in the sentence is found in the use of "their," since it is a plural pronoun referring to the singular word "someone," seen below.

<h3>What is a pronoun shift?</h3>

A pronoun shift is a change in the use of pronouns. We have an incorrect pronoun shift when the pronoun does not correctly refer back to the word it is replacing.

That is the case in the sentence we are analyzing here. The word "someone" is singular. Therefore, if we are to use a pronoun or another word to refer to it, it should also be singular. However, the possessive adjective "their" is plural, which means its use is incorrect.

To correct the sentence, we could do the following:

  • Someone left his or her backpack in the library.

If you could retitle salt to the sea what would it be
kirza4 [7]

If one could retitle the novel "Salt to the Sea", another befitting title would be: "The Importance of Family".

<h3>What is Salt to the Sea about?</h3>

The title alludes to the deaths aboard the MV Wilhelm Gustloff. It also alludes to the process by which salt dissolves back into the sea as a metaphor for the loss of life, culture, and identity in both those who perished in the tragedy and those who survived only to become refugees in a new nation.

The title of a text usually is a pointer to what the subject matter is about.
