Problem 2 - Olympiad

Everyone in the class must bring ____ own calculator to the exam.

Correct: B

'Everyone' is an indefinite pronoun and is singular. Therefore, it requires a singular pronoun for agreement. 'His or her' is the most appropriate gender-neutral singular option in formal writing. While 'his' could be used in some contexts, 'his or her' is more inclusive and precise for 'everyone'.
