The answer is actually:

D. Either Ben or George is willing to drive their car to the show.

The subject of the sentence, "Either Ben or George" is singular and should be matched with a singular pronoun--"his" instead of "their." The sentence should read, "Either Ben or George is willing to drive his car to the show."

Because the development of children takes place in the context of both fam ily and school, parents, policy-makers and educators must understand the changes that both institutions are undergoing. Although exceptions exist, it is possible to identify five key societal phe

nomena in most regions of the world that directly affect families and how they interact with schools. Increasing urbanization, changes in the labor force (especially the increase in the number of women who work outside the home), new technology (especially television and micro-computers), the growth of knowledge and information, and the movement to decentralize responsibility for people's lives (including education) all have implications for human relationships in general and family life in particular.

zhenek [66]
