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.

Your sister has gained adminission into your former school write a letter her information about the school and advise her on how
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Dear Jessie,

I hope this letter finds you well and that you're doing well in your new school. I'm so happy that you're attending my former school since I have already finished high school and in the same institution as you, I will give you some precious advice.

First of all, it is a very prestigious school they only admit the best students. There's a dressing code that you must respect, the school is very strict about it. Also, the classes are great, you'll learn a lot, but be aware that the teacher's exigence is high. They give the best of themselves and expect the same from their students. Lastly, there're plenty of clubs that you can join where you will gain experience and knowledge for the future, don't hesitate to join some of them.

As this is a prestigious school, you should study hard, be punctual and respectful towards your classmates and teachers. The students there're very friendly and always ready to help you, it is easy to make friends, just be yourself and enjoy your time there.

Best wishes!

Kendall.

Explanation:

When we write a letter to someone that we know, we have to use informal language. The use of contractions and everyday phrases or words is allowed.

In the first paragraph, we greet the person and introduce the topic of our letter. In the next sections, we proceed to give information about the school and advice. Lastly, we write a closing phrase and our signature.
