• A. A

• E. E

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

D

Let’s examine the sentence: “The teacher demanded (A) that the students (B) enrolled in the afternoon math class bring (C) his or her supplies to school (D) each day(E). “ The sentence talks about ‘students’ and so requires a pronoun in section D that can be used for ‘students.’ So, the correct pronoun to be used here is ‘their’ and not ‘his or her.’ Hence, the part of the sentence that has an error is C.
