[Video] Q23: No change or one's or their or his or her

Explanation for Question 23 From the Writing Section on the 2019 April Sat

Question number 23 is the first of our second passage on this April, 2019 2 writing section for this question, 3 let's read out the first sentence of the passage for centuries. 4 Japanese bird enthusiastic have bred white rums, 5 Munez brown punches with Tufts of white feathers for its plumage. 6 So what we're doing is figuring out if it's the appropriate pronoun to use 7 here. Um, it's suggests a singular subject. 8 Our subject here is these white rumped Muniez, 9 which, because we see that as on the end, this is going to be 10 a plural subject. Um, 11 we want to make sure that we're selecting a plural pronoun as well. 12 So it fits. Um, and for that reason, 13 we can eliminate choice a, the no change option, 14 which is currently a singular pronoun, B ones. 15 This is something we're going to use usually pertaining to possibly an animal, 16 but usually a human subject and something that's maybe a more general statement that 17 could be applied to a lot of people rather than one specific entity. 18 So this isn't the right fit here. Either answer choice C, 19 there is going to be plural. This is our correct answer because it correctly 20 applies a plural pronoun for a plural subject answer choice D 21 his or her doesn't really make sense. 22 This again, is talking about singular or singular. 23 We want the plural form. So answer choice C remains the best option. 24 We're working with a plural subject, the Muniez. 25 So we choose a plural pronoun there.
