Question: 1 / 160

Which sentence is written correctly?

Each member of the jury is permitted to talk about the case, but it must do so only in the company of the other jurors.

Each member of the jury is permitted to talk about the case, but they must do so only in the company of the other jurors.

Each member of the jury is permitted to talk about the case, but he or she must do so only in the company of the other jurors.

The sentence that states "Each member of the jury is permitted to talk about the case, but he or she must do so only in the company of the other jurors" is correct because it consistently uses singular pronouns to match the singular noun "member." Since "each" refers to every individual member of the jury, it is important to maintain grammatical agreement throughout the sentence. The use of "he or she" ensures that the sentence is inclusive while also adhering to grammatical standards that require a singular pronoun for a singular subject.

This choice effectively conveys the intended meaning while observing formal English conventions, making it an appropriate representation of the rules of grammar in relation to singular and plural agreement.
