Pick out the correct sentence :

AEach must contribute what they can

BEach must contribute what it can

CEach must contribute what who can

DEach must contribute what he can

Answer:

A. Each must contribute what they can

Read Explanation:

  • Each must contribute what they can.

    • This sentence is correct because "they" is often used as a singular pronoun to refer to an unspecified person in a gender-neutral way (ലിംഗ-നിഷ്പക്ഷമായ രീതിയിൽ വ്യക്തമാക്കാത്ത വ്യക്തിയെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ). This usage is now widely accepted in English.
  • Each must contribute what it can.

    • This sentence is incorrect because കാരണം ആളുകളെ പരാമർശിക്കാൻ "ഇത്" സാധാരണയായി ഉപയോഗിക്കാറില്ല. "Each" refers to individuals (വ്യക്തികളെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു), so a pronoun used for people is more appropriate.
  • Each must contribute what who can.

    • This sentence is incorrect because "who" does not fit grammatically in this context. The sentence structure is not coherent. 
    • "Who" is a relative pronoun used to refer to people and should introduce a relative clause, not fit within the structure "what who can."
  • Each must contribute what he can.

    • This sentence was traditionally correct when "he" was used as a default pronoun to refer to an unspecified person. However, it is less preferred now because it is not gender-inclusive.
