Question:
Pick out the correct sentence :
AEach must contribute what they can
BEach must contribute what it can
CEach must contribute what who can
DEach must contribute what he can
Answer:
A. Each must contribute what they can
Explanation:
-
Each must contribute what they can.
- This sentence is correct because "they" is often used as a singular pronoun to refer to an unspecified person in a gender-neutral way (ലിംഗ-നിഷ്പക്ഷമായ രീതിയിൽ വ്യക്തമാക്കാത്ത വ്യക്തിയെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ). This usage is now widely accepted in English.
-
Each must contribute what it can.
- This sentence is incorrect because കാരണം ആളുകളെ പരാമർശിക്കാൻ "ഇത്" സാധാരണയായി ഉപയോഗിക്കാറില്ല. "Each" refers to individuals (വ്യക്തികളെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു), so a pronoun used for people is more appropriate.
-
Each must contribute what who can.
- This sentence is incorrect because "who" does not fit grammatically in this context. The sentence structure is not coherent.
- "Who" is a relative pronoun used to refer to people and should introduce a relative clause, not fit within the structure "what who can."
-
Each must contribute what he can.
- This sentence was traditionally correct when "he" was used as a default pronoun to refer to an unspecified person. However, it is less preferred now because it is not gender-inclusive.
