Both "his/her" and "his" are ok. However, GMAC normally prefers "his". Blame it on sexism.

However, if you do use such sentences in AWA, I suggest you use "his/her". You might not want to offend the person who could be anyone reading your passage.

E
Seems like a simple case of subject verb agreement Anyone is singular. This question not that brutal in my opinion.

Hi, I agree this one is E.
But, is "anyone" ever plural for any context?
