1.1 Identify and correct the word/phrase in the sentences below:
1.1.1 None of the Baloyi girls will be returning to (their/her) school next year.
Answer: "None of the Baloyi girls will be returning to their school next year."
Reason: Since we are talking about multiple girls, "their" is the correct word
because it refers to all of them collectively.
1.1.2 Each of the learners waited for (their/his or her) turn.
Answer: "Each of the learners waited for his or her turn."
Reason: "Each" suggests we're talking about individual learners, so "his or
her" fits better than "their" to reflect singularity.
1.1.3 Everyone in the girls’ club volunteered (her, their) time for the “Keep Our Town
Clean” campaign.
Answer: "Everyone in the girls’ club volunteered her time for the 'Keep Our
Town Clean' campaign."
Reason: "Everyone" refers to the members individually, and since they are all
girls, "her" makes more sense.
1.1.4 Someone has parked (his/her, their) car behind mine, to prevent me from driving
away.
, Answer: "Someone has parked his or her car behind mine, to prevent me from
driving away."
Reason: "Someone" is singular, so "his or her" is needed to match the
singular subject.
1.1.5 The team tried (their/its) best to win the cup.
Answer: "The team tried its best to win the cup."
Reason: "Team" is a collective noun, treated as a singular entity, so "its" is
the correct pronoun.
1.1.6 When I was growing up, my sister tried to throw me into a pool to teach me how to
swim my father came to my rescue.
Answer: "When I was growing up, my sister tried to throw me into a pool to teach
me how to swim; my father came to my rescue."
Reason: The sentence needs a semicolon (;) or a period to separate the two
independent clauses.
1.1.7 Stay right where you are;
Answer: "Stay right where you are."
Reason: The semicolon is unnecessary because this is a complete sentence
on its own. A period would work better here.
1.1.8 They run slow.
Answer: "They run slowly."
Reason: "Slowly" is the adverb that should be used to describe the verb
"run."
