American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax spent several years collecting and recording folk music during his travels in the southern United States, resulting in a comprehensive anthology: Southern Journey. In 2012, it was released for free online by the Association of Cultural Equity in an effort to preserve and promote the work of Alan Lomax and to ensure that it remains accessible to future generations.Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is pronoun-antecedent agreement. The singular pronoun “it” agrees in number with the singular antecedent “a comprehensive anthology: Southern Journey” and clearly identifies what was released for free online by the Association of Cultural Equity.
Choices B, C, and D: The plural pronouns “they,” “these,” and “some” do not agree in number with the singular antecedent “a comprehensive anthology: Southern Journey.”
✨ Expert's Tip ✨
- An antecedent is the noun substitute that a pronoun refers to.
- Pronouns should agree in number, person, and gender with their antecedents.
