Question

Correct the underlined part from the given options if it has an error:

The new project involves building dams across several rivers, but their cost is likely to be very high.

• A. NO CHANGE
• B. its
• C. there
• D. that

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

its

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands. ( ante = "before") The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. 'Its' is the pronoun that agrees with 'project' which is the antecedent of the pronoun. Hence correct answer is B) Its.
