OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
As a citizen of any country, one should acknowledge that one is an integral part of a larger community and exercise their freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as uninfluential, forms the foundation of a democratic society.
A. one is an integral part of a larger community and exercise their freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as uninfluential, forms
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect: the pronoun their refers to one but does not agree with it as one is singular and their is plural.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
- Example: One must be careful with what one wishes for.
What helps us identify this question as a Pronoun question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it
B. one is an integral part of a larger community and exercise one's freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as not being at all influential, forms
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Pronoun error by replacing the plural pronoun their with one, it is not the most concise of the answer choices. The phrase regarded as not being at all influential is wordy.
C. one is an integral part of a larger community and exercise the freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as uninfluential, forms
This answer choice corrects the original Pronoun error by removing the incorrect plural pronoun their.
What helps us identify this question as a Pronoun question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it
Note that this sentence includes two verbs in the base form following the modal verb should: ...one should acknowledge...and [one should] exercise.
D. he is an integral part of a larger community and exercise his freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as uninfluential, forms
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original Pronoun mistake: The pronouns he and his can refer to human male nouns, but there's no such noun in the sentence.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
- Example: One must be careful with what one wishes for.
E. one is an integral part of a larger community and exercise one's freedom to vote, which, often misunderstood and regarded as uninfluential, form
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Pronoun error by replacing the plural pronoun their with one, it creates a Subject Verb Agreement error.
The singular subject freedom to vote does not agree with the plural verb form.
What helps us identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A long complex subject / a long distance between the subject and the verb
