Question

Select the sentence in which the indefinite pronoun agrees correctly with its corresponding pronoun.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Everyone should perform his or her duty sincerely.

Indefinite pronouns such as everyone, somebody, everybody, and anybody are grammatically singular, so the pronoun that refers back to them must also be singular.

"Everyone should perform his or her duty sincerely" correctly pairs the singular indefinite pronoun with the singular possessive form "his or her".

The remaining sentences pair singular indefinite pronouns with the plural possessive "their", which breaks strict number agreement.
