In Mattie's mind, Blanchard's balloon—“a yellow silk bubble escaping the earth”—symbolizes freedom, particularly an escape from her home, where she feels as if she's trapped and treated like a child.
A pronoun shift is when you modify the pronoun in the same sentence, then the reader is not able to understand who is the subject of the sentence.
In the exemplified sentence the pronoun inserted incorrectly is <u>they</u>, shifting the initially singular subject "The student" (pronouns he or she) to a plural pronominal form.
When correcting, the writer must evaluate which is the desired pronoun, that fits his subject.:
<em>(Singular form) If the student feels ill, he/she should be sent to the nurse.
</em>
<em>(Plural form) If the students feel ill, they should be sent to the nurse.</em>
So, the pronoun shift that should be circled is They
It was crucial due to the fact the Egyptians was dependent on the cycle of the Nile River. The Egyptians recognized three seasons: Akhet (flooding), Peret (planting), and Shemu (harvesting). The flooding season lasted from June to September, depositing on the river's banks a layer of mineral-rich silt ideal for growing crops. After the floodwaters had receded, the growing season lasted from October to February. Farmers plowed and planted seeds in the fields, which were irrigated with ditches and canals. Egypt received little rainfall, so farmers relied on the Nile to water their crops. From March to May, farmers used sickles to harvest their crops, which were then threshed with a flail to separate the straw from the grain. Winnowing removed the chaff from the grain, and the grain was then ground into flour, brewed to make beer, or stored for later use.
