OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Like the law states, before changing lanes, one must check one's mirrors for oncoming traffic and signal.
A. Like the law states, before changing lanes, one must check one's
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The like section should not include a conjugated verb. In this answer choice, however, the like section includes a conjugated verb (Like the law states).
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: Like, unlike, than, as
B. As the law, before changing lanes, one must check one's
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (As the law), however, does not include a verb.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as the mistake is the following Stop Sign: Like, unlike, than, as
C. As the law states, before changing lanes, one must check their
Although this answer choice corrects the original Comparative error by changing the word like to as to go with the verb states, it is still 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.
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
D. As the law states, before changing lanes, one must check one's
The like section should not include a conjugated verb. In this answer choice, however, Like is replaced with As which should be followed by a conjugated verb.
Additionally, this answer choice follows the rule: the pronoun one agrees with itself only.
E. As the law states, before changing lanes, one must check his
Although this answer choice corrects the original Comparative error by changing the word like to as to go with the verb states, it is still grammatically incorrect. The pronoun his can refer to human male nouns, but there's no such noun in the sentence.
The pronoun one agrees with itself only.
