Please provide the sentences you're referring to, and I'll help you identify the one where the italicized pronoun agrees in number with its italicized noun.
In grammar, a pronoun must agree in number with the noun it replaces. For example, if the noun is singular, the pronoun must also be singular; if the noun is plural, the pronoun must be plural. This agreement ensures clarity and coherence in writing. For instance, in the sentence "The dog wagged its tail," "its" agrees in number with the singular noun "dog."
The term pronoun-antecedent is the term for the agreement of a pronoun with its antecedent. Pronouns and antecedents must agree in number (singular or plural), person (first, second, or third person), and gender (male, female, neutral).

To determine the correct sentence, ensure the italicized pronoun matches the number (singular or plural) of its antecedent. For example, in the sentence "The team celebrated its victory," the singular pronoun "its" agrees with the singular antecedent "team." In contrast, a sentence like "The players celebrated their victory" uses the plural pronoun "their" to agree with the plural antecedent "players."
