Answer : A ?
First one, I don't think any of those are good, complete answers. I guess D is better than the others.
Second one, you're right.
To determine the correct sentence, we need to look for any grammatical errors or inconsistencies. Let's analyze each option:
A: Each day is a new sheet of paper; it replaces the good or bad of the day before.
This sentence is grammatically correct. The pronoun "it" is used to refer to "each day," and the verb "replaces" agrees with the subject.
B: Each day is a new sheet of paper; they replaces the good or bad of the day before.
In this sentence, there is a subject-verb disagreement. The pronoun "they" does not match the singular subject "each day." The correct form should be "replace" instead of "replaces."
C: Each day is a new sheet of paper; he replaces the good or bad of the day before.
In this sentence, the pronoun "he" does not match the indefinite subject "each day." The correct form is to use a general pronoun or noun that encompasses both genders, like "it" or "one."
D: Each day is a new sheet of paper; he or she replaces the good or bad of the day before.
This sentence is grammatically correct, as it uses the proper pronouns "he or she" to refer to the subject "each day." However, the use of "he or she" can sound slightly repetitive or clunky.
The correct sentence is A: Each day is a new sheet of paper; it replaces the good or bad of the day before.
