Question

The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
All the young boys and girls / in the family / will try his luck / in the card games tonight.

A.

All the young boys and girls

B.

in the card games tonight

C.

will try his luck

D.

in the family

Correct option is C

Option (c) contains an error.
Explanation: The sentence talks about “all the young boys and girls”, which is plural. Therefore, the pronoun “his” should be replaced by the plural “their”.
Correct sentence: All the young boys and girls will try their luck in the card games tonight.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Pronoun must agree in number and gender with the noun it refers to. For plural subjects, plural pronouns like “their” should be used.
Example:
All students submitted their books.
Information Booster:
Use singular pronouns (his/her) only when subject is singular or general (e.g., “Each student…”).
