What an advertising agency chooses to focus on for their major campaigns depends upon the interests and strengths of the executives responsible for overseeing the projects.

(A) What an advertising agency chooses to focus on for their major campaigns depends

(B) What an advertising agency chooses to focus on for its major campaigns are dependent

(C) What an advertising agency chooses to focus on for its major campaigns depends

(D) What an advertising agency should chooses to focus on for its major campaigns depend

(E) For an advertising agency to choose to focus on for its major campaigns depends



Official Explanation :

If you look through the answer choices, you'll notice that some choices include their, whereas other include its. That pattern is a tip-off that the question is testing pronoun agreement.

Choice A is incorrect because the pronoun their does not agree with the singular referent advertising agency. The word agency is a tip-off that the question is testing collective nouns, which are always singular.

Choice B is incorrect because are should be is. The subject of that verb is what, which is always singular when it is used as a subject.

Choice C is correct because depends agrees with its subject, what, and its agrees with its referent, an advertising agency.

Choice D is incorrect because depend should be depends. A singular verb is required to agree with the subject what.

Choice E is incorrect because for cannot be used to begin a subject; the entire construction is grammatically unacceptable.
