Question

Every student has passed …… examination in the first class:

• A. his
• B. their
• C. an
• D. out

Answer 1

Answer:

A. his

When the sentence starts with each and every of, then the initial noun and pronoun should be in a singular form and in the remaining sentence singular verb, singular pronoun and singular adjective will be used. We always use masculine gender pronouns and adjective with each and every. However, use of 'their' is also right.Here “their” is used to refer to a single person whose sex is not known or specified.
