Q. Mr. Budhrani, (1) / my friend and professor, (2) / is known for (3) / their good behaviour. (4) / No Error (5)- Published on 18 Jan 17a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
ANSWER: 4
Replace 'their' with 'his'.
When two singular nouns are joined by 'and' refer to the same person or thing, the pronoun used for them should be 'singular'.
The correct sentence should be: Mr. Budhrani, my friend and professor, is known for his good behaviour.
e.g. The founder and owner of this firm expressed his views on the trends in the industry. (One person- two portfolios)
