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.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
ludmilkaskok [199]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.
