Pronoun-antecedent agreement is when the pronoun and the antecedent relate to eachother. A prounoun is word that stands in for or takes place of a noun. An antecedent is word for which a pronoun stands. The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number.
The sentence that has a pronoun-antecedent error is B.
<u>Each</u> of the men says that <u>they</u> will be happy to volunteer to grill at the barbeque.
Each is a singular indefinite prounoun, so the antecedent should be he. The antecedent should be masucline, because we are referring to only men.
