Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.115 Correct Shifts in Pronoun Number and Person skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

In the report, the analyst summarizes the results in third person. She notes that the company met its goals, but you can see they still face risks in the next quarter.

Which revision best removes the shifts in person and number?

AIn the report, the analyst summarizes the results in third person. She notes that the company met its goals, but I can see it still faces risks in the next quarter.

BIn the report, the analyst summarizes the results in third person. She notes that the company met its goals, but we can see they still face risks in the next quarter.

CIn the report, the analyst summarizes the results in third person. She notes that the company met its goals, but readers can see they still face risks in the next quarter.

DIn the report, the analyst summarizes the results in third person. She notes that the company met its goals, but readers can see it still faces risks in the next quarter.

Solution & Explanation:The report is third person, so 'you can see' shifts to second person. Also, 'company' is singular ('its'), so it should be 'it faces,' not 'they face.' Option D fixes both.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

The course syllabus is written in third person. It states that the student is responsible for meeting deadlines, and you must email the instructor if they will be absent.

Which option best corrects pronoun person and reference in the second clause?

AThe course syllabus is written in third person. It states that the student is responsible for meeting deadlines, and I must email the instructor if they will be absent.

BThe course syllabus is written in third person. It states that the student is responsible for meeting deadlines, and the instructor must email the student if the student will be absent.

CThe course syllabus is written in third person. It states that the student is responsible for meeting deadlines, and the student must email the instructor if the student will be absent.

DThe course syllabus is written in third person. It states that the student is responsible for meeting deadlines, and you must email the instructor if the student will be absent.

Solution & Explanation:The syllabus uses third person ('the student'). 'You must email' shifts to second person. Using 'the student must email' keeps third person and makes the subject clear.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

No one in the group remembered the password, so you asked the teacher to reset it.

Which revision keeps the sentence consistent in person?

ANo one in the group remembered the password, so I asked the teacher to reset it.

BNo one in the group remembered the password, so the students asked the teacher to reset it.

CNo one in the group remembered the password, so they asked you to reset it.

DNo one in the group remembered the password, so you asked the teacher to reset it.

Solution & Explanation:The sentence begins in third person ('No one in the group') but shifts to second person ('you asked'). Replacing 'you' with a third-person noun keeps the point of view consistent.
