Answer:

Sentence 2.

Explanation:

Pronoun-antecedent agreement error is characterized as the error when there is an incongruity or disagreement between the pronoun and its antecedent. This error creates a kind of confusion while deriving the meaning of the sentence.

As per the question, <u>sentence 2</u> contains a pronoun-antecedent agreement error because the plural antecedent 'their' does not agree with the singular pronoun 'an enslaved person' which creates a perplexity in the meaning of the sentence. Thus, the sentence could be modified to rectify this error either by altering the pronoun as per the antecedent or vice versa as follows;

'It was common for an enslaved person to stop there on his/her way to the North.'

or

'It was common for the enslaved persons/people to stop there on their way to the North.'

Read the passage from "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania (August 23, 1769)." Dearest Father, Brother, and Siste
USPshnik [31]

Explanation:

In "Letter by a Swiss-German Immigrant to Pennsylvania" America is the symbol for a free country. By this adjective "free" the author wants to explain how is America a place for living. Free means that everyone is welcome to come.  The author creates a picture of America, where you can settle without asking everyone, where there is a wide landscape, spacious land "from Canada to the east of us to Carolina in the south and to the Spanish border in the west".

One of the most important detail is there is no payment for taxes to land, but in Europe, you must pay. Free country for author means there are no obligations for living there. He thinks that America is promised land.
