The correct answer should be
<span>to lend credibility and additional support to their conclusion

Quoting famous books is usually done to support what you're saying, it's not about proving things or demonstrating it, it's rather to help make your hypothesis seem more legitimate. Highlighting your knowledge is not necessary and sounds a bit arrogant. </span>

9. Correct the pronoun error in this sentence. Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for her yearbook staff.
sveta [45]

Answer:

Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for <u>his</u> yearbook staff.

Explanation:

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. Pronouns that express ownership are called possessive pronouns. They include pronouns <em>my, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your </em>and <em>yours</em>.

When we want to express something that belongs to a female, we say that something is <em>her/hers</em>. When something belongs to a male, it is <em>his</em>. In the given sentence, the subject is a man (Mr., or Mister Thompson), so the appropriate possessive pronoun is <em>his</em>: <em>Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for </em><u><em>his</em></u><em> yearbook staff.</em> Had the subject been a female (e.g. Mrs. Thompson), the sentence would've been correct.
