Yesenia · Answer 1

I believe that the correct answer would be sentence 3

Deshawn Cooper · Answer 2

In sentence number 3, the cause of the agreement error is the antecedent-pronoun. The subject of the sentence is "the students at Lincoln High". Therefore, the pronoun to be used should not be "its", but the correct pronoun should be "their" because it refers to persons. "Its" is only used for objects and animals.
