Grammar issue presented: Pronoun Agreement (singular/plural)
The collective noun choir requires a singular, not plural, pronoun: it.
Compare
A) as they moved through elaborate and challenging four-part harmonies
Subject/Verb Agreement? NO - choir (singular) : they (plural)
B) as they were moving through elaborate and challenging four-part harmonies
Subject/Verb Agreement? NO - choir (singular) : they (plural)
C) moving themselves through elaborate and challenging four-part harmonies
Subject/Verb Agreement? NO - choir (singular) : themselves (plural)
D) as it moved through elaborate and challenging four-part harmonies
Subject/Verb Agreement? YES - choir (singular) : it (plural)
Additional Errors? NO
E) as it moved through challenging four-part harmonies elaborately
Subject/Verb Agreement? YES - choir (singular) : it (plural)
Additional Errors? Sentence Construction: The adverb “elaborately” should be as close as possible to the word it modifies: “moved.”
(D) is correct.
My Doubt: I felt that E should be correct since firstly it resolves 'subject/verb agreement' and secondly 'parallelism'. Since the adverb elaborately is parallel to adverb passionately. Is my understanding wrong?
