Problem 2 - Entrance Test

Every student must submit ______ essay by Friday.

Correct: B

The indefinite pronoun "Every student" is singular. Therefore, the possessive pronoun referring to it must also be singular. While "their" is increasingly accepted in informal contexts to avoid gender specificity, in formal grammar, "his or her" is the correct singular, gender-neutral option. "Its" refers to an inanimate object or animal, and "his" excludes female students.
