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.

azamat
The second conflict is that Jacob must decide whether he should stay with Miss Peregrine and his new friends in the loop hole, or stay in the present-day with his family. He knows that if he stays with his family he will live in fear for the rest of his life. He also knows that he may end up like his grandfather if he continues in the real world. However, he also knows that he would miss his family if he went to live with Miss Peregrine. But, he can not bear to think about life without Emma. Jacob must make a decision that will have a huge impact on his life. This conflict is man v. self.

<span>Dear J.K. Rowling I really appreciated your book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". The serious tone Harry uses when speaking truly underlines dire times felt within the wizarding world. I could never find the right words to use when setting my plot, but I was truly inspired by your use of diction to control the tempo of a long narrative. This tempo control ran throughout the text, emotionally tying specific plot devices to the perspective of a character and framing their state of being. In conclusion, I hope my writing can glimpse a shadow of your craft. When I write in first person, as you did with Harry, I often now compare my use of language to your descriptive tendencies and search for improvements. Not writing extremely long sentences, or using out of character phrasing, but instead giving just enough detail to paint a vivid picture. If this gets to you, I hope you can write me back, I've attatched a pdf of a recent poem and hope you can give me some notes. Thank you, Sincerly...</span>
