Question

Which personal pronoun agrees with the antecedent in this sentence? Everybody has __________ own recipe for cooking chili.

a. him or hers
b. his or her
c. their

Answer 1

Everybody has HIS OR HER own recipe for cooking chili.

The personal pronoun is in a singular possessive form. The term "has" in the sentence is the clue that signifies the use of singular form.

If the term used was "have", then, the personal pronoun used would have been "their." Plural possessive form.

Everybody have their own recipe for cooking chili.
