Which sentence demonstrates proper pronoun-antecedent agreement: Each employee must submit his or her timesheet.

• A. Each employee must submit their timesheet.
• B. Each employee must submit his or her timesheet.
• C. Each employee must submit his timesheet.
• D. Each employee must submit hers timesheet.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is pronoun-antecedent agreement with a singular subject. When you have “each” as the subject, the pronoun must be singular. “His or her” is the traditional, gender-inclusive singular pronoun form that matches “each employee,” ensuring the pronoun agrees in number while covering all genders. Using a plural pronoun like “their” would clash with the singular sense of “each.” Using “his” alone excludes non-male employees, and “hers” cannot modify “timesheet” directly in this structure. So, the sentence with “his or her” is the correct, grammatically proper choice.
