There are two errors in this sentence. First, the plural pronoun “they” does not agree with its singular antecedent “a person.” Second, the phrase “ascend up” is redundant; to “ascend” is, by definition, to go “up.”
(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence.
(B) The plural pronoun “they” does not agree with its singular antecedent “anyone.” In addition, the phrase “ascend up” is redundant.
(C) CORRECT. The plural pronoun “they” agrees with its plural antecedent “people.” In addition, “ascend” has been substituted for the redundant “ascend up.”
(D) The pronoun “you” is in the second person and incorrectly refers to “a person” which is in the third person.
(E) The plural pronoun “they” does not agree with its singular antecedent “anybody.”
