Question

Emily realized the sentence contains a pronoun error. Which sentence below corrects the error? A.The pack of wolves returned to his or her den. B.The pack of wolves returned to his den. C.The pack of wolves returned to our den. D.The pack of wolves returned to its den.

Answer 1

Answer:

D.The pack of wolves returned to its den.

Explanation:

When we are referring to an animal or an object, we must not use the pronouns "she / her" or "he / his" as these pronouns are specific to human beings. In this case, animals and objects are referred to with the pronoun "it". The pronoun "our" is also used for a group of human beings and never for a group of animals or objects.

In this case, the letters A, B, and C do not have the correct way to use a pronoun that refers to a pack of wolves. If wolves are animals, the right pronoun for them is "it / its" as shown in the letter D.
