Once there was a man who lived in a cot.
He found it very hot
While cleaning, he found a lamp
And when he rub it, it crackled and fizzed with a KABAMP
Out a genie came, with three wishes
The first, he wished for a nice crispy fish
And snapped the fingers of the genie, the wish came true
The next, he wished for a a unbreakable tool
Again, the genie snapped his fingers, the man had the tool and fish to hold
But he wished for the final, a place where it was cold
This time, the genie zapped him into the Antarctic
The moral, be happy with what you have.

Answer:
B. Two witnesses in the case will give their testimony tomorrow.
Explanation:
As you may already know, pronouns are words that replace the nouns mentioned above, referring to them at the moment when they do not necessarily need to be reused, within the sentence. This reference that the pronouns make is directly linked to the concept of pronoun-antecedent agreement, since the pronoun must agree in gender, number and degree with the noun he is referring to and which was said before it.
Option C, shown in the question above, is an example of how this should be done, as it shows the pronoun "their" in correct agreement with the antecedent "witnesses".

Answer: Like Doodle, the scarlet ibis is a fragile creature that struggles to survive in its environment.
In this story, the scarlet ibis is compared to Doodle, the narrator's brother. Doodle was born sick, and his family believe that he is unlikely to live for long. However, Doodle does survive, even if he is a very frail and unhealthy child. Doodle tries to be like his brother, but he is incapable of it. When he dies, we see that the narrator compares his death to that of the scarlet ibis that died earlier in the story. They were both far from home, weak, and different than everyone else. They also died during a storm. The ibis is also a way for the brother to process Doodle's death and deal with his guilt.
