Question

Read the paragraph. [1] Studies have shown that kids who eat healthy food have more energy. [2] When students are more energized, they get better grades. [3] Still, half the students at Lincoln High eat pizza at its lunchtime. [4] The school plans to start offering healthier options like salads and fruit as an alternative. What is the cause of the agreement error in sentence 3?
a. gender
b. number
c. person
d. antecedent

Answer 1

I think its C. not sure, tho, it can be number aswell. I think its C because if students want to eat pizza, they will eat pizza. bring theirs from home or whatever. Its up to them, what they want to eat.

Answer 2

An agreement error is a pronoun not agreeing with its antecedent or however you spell that.

So in this case, the pronoun would be its and the antecedent, students.

So we can eliminate D and A, because the problem isn't in the gender is incorrect nor the half the students part.

It should be B, the number, because its is singular, so instead it should be something like their.
