Answer:

The dark wizards were not about to let Harry Potter get the best of them.

Explanation:

A pronoun is one of the eight (8) parts of speech in English language and it can be defined as a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence i.e it substitutes a noun and noun phrases in a sentence. Some examples of a pronoun are he, she, you, I, who, it, them, ours, someone, whose, everybody, many, few, each, herself, himself, whoever, those, etc.

In English language, a subject can be defined as a person, thing, idea or place that performs an action.

Also, a subject-pronoun agreement refers to the situation in which there is an agreement between a subject and a pronoun in terms of number.

This ultimately implies that, if a subject is singular; its pronoun should also be singular (one) and if the subject is plural; the pronoun must be plural (more than one).

Furthermore, a pronoun referring to a singular subject should be in singular form while when it's referring to more than one (plural) subject, it should be in plural form; so as to connote an agreement of words (concord).

<em>In this context, the sentence that demonstrates a correct pronoun usage is; "The dark wizards were not about to let Harry Potter get the best of them."</em>

<em>Wizards is a plural subject and as such should be replaced with a pronoun that connotes plurality such as them.</em>

Arturiano [62]
<span>Freedom of speech is important for the media because this allows them to bring the faults made by the government in front of the people without the fear of any kind of backlash. People will be allowed to give their dissent and the media can easily print them without thinking about the consequences. </span>
