Question

    In each of the questions, a sentence has been divided into four parts, one of which may contain an error. Identify that fragment and mark it as your answer. Mark (E) if the sentence contains no error.

    On the top shelf of the dusty bookcase, (A)/ is a collection of vintage novels, each with its own (B)/ unique stories and histories that entice anyone (C)/ who dares to delve into its well-worn pages. (D)

    A A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The pronoun "its" refers back to the singular noun "collection," but the sentence implies that each individual novel has its own story. Therefore, "its" should be plural to agree with the antecedent "collection of vintage novels."
