[4] he plans to decide the week before classes start. which sentence has an indefinite pronoun-verb agreement error?
sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4

Sentence 3

Explanation:

The pronoun "both" appears two times: the second time it is referring to 2 courses, so the verb should respond to the plural content of the pronoun. Instead of "is", it should be "are".

The correct answer is C. Sentence 3 "Neither he nor his parents think he’ll have time to do the work for both courses, and both is offered at the same time"

Explanation:

In grammar, a pronoun-verb agreement occurs when the pronoun which is a word that replaces a noun such as the words you, they, someone, everyone, etc. and the verb are not in agreement this means the pronoun is singular but the verb is plural or the noun is plural and the verb is singular. This is a common grammar mistake especially in the case of indefinite pronouns such as someone, everyone, another, neither, one or both in which it might not be clear wheter the pronoun is singular or plural.

This can be seen in sentence 3 "Neither he nor his parents think he’ll have time to do the work for both courses, and both is offered at the same time", considering the indefinite pronoun "both" refers to the AP Chemistry and AP French and therefore is plural, but the verb "is" is singular, which means the sentence is incorrect as it should be "both are offered at the same time". Therefore, the sentence with an indefinite pronoun-verb agreement error is Sentence 3.
