Answer:

The potencial concern in the sentence <em>One of your students left their book on the table</em> is a) improper pronoun usage.

Explanation:

An alternative phrasing that would correct the concern would be <em>One of your students left his (or her) book on the table. </em>

The original sentence contains an <u>improper pronoun usage</u> because the pronoun <em>their </em>does not agree in number with the subject of the sentence <em>one of your students</em>. The subject is singular, so the pronoun should be singular as well. Therefore, a singular possessive pronoun should be introduced.

Based on the given sentence above, the error that I can find is the incorrect use of the pronoun "their". Looking at the sentence, the subject is "One of your students", this means only one, and not all the students. Therefore, this should take a singular pronoun. So the correct sentence would be "One of your students left his or her book on the table." So the answer for this would be option A. Hope this helps.

*Needs to be completed in the next 3 hours*
Andru [333]

Answer:

Explanation:

To make the world a better place for everyone is not a simple task, The majority of you may ask: "Why?". Well, One of the mostbasic reasons is that this world is ihabited by billions and billions of people, and if it's difficult and nearly impossible to find a single topic in which a whole country agrees, imagine finding something that joins the interests of the whole world?

Secondly, accordong to Freudian theory, human beings always have an uncomplete desire. You yourself, maybe you need something in this moment, and when you get it, there will be another object of your desire. Human beings never stop looking for  complete happiness, or something that fullfills all of their needs, something they never, ever find. The majority don't even know what they are looking for.

Anyway, in order to make of this world a better place for anyone, from the biologistpoint of view, we humans should start taking care of it a little more. If every single human being starts recycling, or throwing their rubbish in the bin instead of in the street, pollution would gradually decrease until it finally gets to the minimum.

Anothe way of making the world a better placewould be trying to be more tolerant among each other. It's not difficult to stop saying bad comments or sharing destructive opinions towards other people. If every human being could save only 1 negative comment per day, the atmosphere would be a little less harsh for anyone.
