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.

How are "Barrio Boy" and "No Gumption" similar
Zepler [3.9K]
They are both written in first person, they share conflicts. <span>First, in similarity, they lived in close time periods (both lived in 20th century) and were very poor. They went through a lot of struggle but in the end they achieved a lot. They both share similar conflicts. These are both memoir stories written in first person and talk about being young children. 

In difference, No Gumption is about a boy who delivers newspapers to help support his family and to learn how to have a job. His mother wants him to have gumption so he won't end up the way his father was. In Barrio Boy, it is about an immigrant who goes to school and learns English. I don't think the story ever talks about him getting a job.</span>
