Identify the correct choice to complete this sentence. An informational interview is a good chance to network because _____ designed to let the interviewer ask a working professional questions about _____ job.
A. they are/his or her B. it is/his or her C. they are/his D. they are/their
Answer : B. it is/his or her
Explanation : Since the subject in the first sentence is "an interview", which is a singular noun, the pronoun that replaces it has to be in singular form too : "it". In the other sentence, the possesive adjective refers to "a professional", which is a singular noun, so it also has to be in singular form : "his or her".
Your answer is D. Here's how it would look with these responses:
An informational interview is a good chance to network because they are designed to let the interviewer ask a working professional questions about their job.
However, it depends on how you look at it, his or her for option A could also work, however their just seems more concise and the better answer.
This seems grammatically correct, as opposed to "it is designed", and the other responses.
