You're welcome.
Well, if someone left their keys at the reception desk, there may be some confusion about who exactly left them there. Maybe it was the office's resident magician who accidentally pulled their keys out of their hat and left them behind. So, option e, "Someone, his or her," seems like the most inclusive and fair choice. After all, even clowns can misplace their keys sometimes!
You are correct. Option e, "Someone, his or her," is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The sentence is referring to a person (someone) leaving their keys at the reception desk. In this case, "someone" is a singular pronoun, so the correct pronoun to use would be either "his" or "her," depending on the gender of the person. However, since the gender is not specified in the sentence, the best option is to use the neutral pronoun "his or her." Therefore, option e is the most appropriate and inclusive choice.
