Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. The king or the queen will bring his or her own personal servant.

Explanation:

Let's begin our analysis with the second sentence, letter B: "The king or the queen will bring his own personal servant." In this sentence, the possessive pronoun used, "his", makes it sound as if a servant belonging only to the king will be brought. The servant can be brought by any of them, the king or the queen, but belongs to the king.

Letter C is "The king or the queen will bring their own personal servant." By using the possessive "their", the speaker makes it sound as if the servant belongs to both of them, to the king and the queen at the same time.

<u>Since we are looking for the sentence that uses the pronoun correctly to indicate that the king and the queen have separate servants, we should choose letter A. In "The king or the queen will bring his or her own personal servant", the use of both possessive pronouns "his" and "her" makes it clear that the king will bring the servant that belongs to him, while the queen will bring the servant that belongs to her.</u>

Lelechka [254]

Although Cory is rich and of an elite class, he kills himself because he is unhappy.

The poem begins describing Richard Cory as a rich gentleman. The speaker of the poem is one of the townspeople and he says, "we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place." This envy from the townspeople does not cost him his life. But it surprises the townspeople because they thought they wanted to be him, however, they do not want to be dead like Cory is at the end of the poem. It is ironic because his unhappiness is unexpected since he came across as though he was happy because of his money.
