Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.

Why do you think such a law exists in the first place? do juvenile killers deserve life behind bars
Vitek1552 [10]
I think a law exists in the first place because it sets boundaries and lets other people know they can’t freely do whatever they want. Juvenile killers deserve life behind bars because they murdered someone and that isn’t acceptable, they know the consequences that come with their actions they made.
