Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: This answer choice refers to the plural noun "writers" with the singular pronoun "he". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice B: This answer choice repeats the error found in Option A. Furthermore, this answer choice needlessly utilizes the phrase "such a book" rather than the pronoun "it". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice C: This answer choice uses the plural pronoun "them" to refer to the singular noun "thesaurus". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice D: This answer choice repeats the error found in Option A by using the singular pronoun "she" to refer to the plural noun "writers". Thus, this answer choice is incorrect.
Choice E: This answer choice maintains agreement between all pronouns and the nouns that they refer to, throughout the sentence. Thus, this answer choice is correct.
Hence, E is the best answer choice.
All the best!
