Question

In a short story, any pronoun that indicates a person or thing spoken of is given in the _______ person.

a. first
b. second or third
c. third
d. second

Answer 1

The answer would be B second or third

For example:

Every good homeowner plays their part in keeping the neighborhood clean and safe.
The pronoun would be "their" which would be correct because "every homeowner" is singular...
and i would think the antecedent would be "every good homeowner"

Answer 2

In a short story, any pronoun that indicates a person or thing spoken of is given in the third person.

So the answer is C. Third.
