You are very welcome.

To determine whether each sentence is an example of correct pronoun agreement, we need to ensure that the pronouns used in each sentence agree with their antecedents (the nouns they refer to) in terms of number and gender. Let's go through each sentence:

1. "Those who saw the play told us he was impressed."
In this sentence, the pronoun "he" is used to refer to an unspecified person who watched the play. Since "he" is a singular masculine pronoun, it does not agree with the plural antecedent "those". Therefore, the answer is N.

2. "After I walk two miles, my leg hurts."
In this sentence, the pronoun "my" is used to refer back to the noun "leg". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are singular and in the first person, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

3. "Before you take exam 4, you should review my Self-Check test 4."
In this sentence, the pronoun "my" is used to refer back to the noun "Self-Check test". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are singular and in the first person, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

4. "Each winner will receive a trophy as he receives her award."
In this sentence, the pronouns "he" and "her" are used to refer back to the noun "each winner". Since the pronouns are of different genders (masculine and feminine), they do not agree. Therefore, the answer is N.

5. "The tennis ball hit the net before it dropped in."
In this sentence, the pronoun "it" is used to refer back to the noun "tennis ball". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are singular and inanimate, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

6. "All employees must submit their payroll slips the Monday before pay day."
In this sentence, the pronoun "their" is used to refer back to the plural noun "employees". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are plural, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

7. "The plane's pilot deployed their landing gear moments before touchdown."
In this sentence, the pronoun "their" is used to refer back to the singular noun "pilot". Since the pronoun and the antecedent do not agree in terms of number, the answer is N.

8. "The town council will issue its proclamation this morning."
In this sentence, the pronoun "its" is used to refer back to the noun "town council". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are singular, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

9. "The band will perform its newest single at the concert."
In this sentence, the pronoun "its" is used to refer back to the noun "band". Since both the pronoun and the antecedent are singular, they agree with each other. Therefore, the answer is C.

Final answers:
1. N
2. C
3. C
4. N
5. C
6. C
7. N
8. C
9. C
