Question 12: The correct answer is "Every player on the team must give his or her best effort in the championship game."
Explanation: In this sentence, the subject is "Every player on the team," which is singular. Therefore, we should use the singular pronoun "his or her" instead of the plural pronoun "their."
Question 13: The correct answer is "Each person in the seminar must submit a sample of his or her work in the portfolio."

Question 14: The correct answer is "Every girl at the tryouts thinks she is not going to make the team."
Explanation: In this sentence, we are referring to each girl individually, so we should use the singular pronoun "she" instead of the plural pronoun "they."
Question 15: The correct answer is "I've heard that one can get an abortion in almost any big city these days."
Explanation: "It" is a vague pronoun in this sentence, and we should avoid using such pronouns. Instead, we can rephrase the sentence to clarify who can get an abortion by using the pronoun "one."
Question 16: The correct answer is "I took my dog from his cage and gave him a thorough cleaning."
