Which sentence demonstrates proper pronoun usage?

Question

A. The staff likes their new break room.

 

B. The jury blamed their voting error on one member.

 

C. The staff likes its new vacation policy.

 

D. The faculty members liked its new curriculum training.

Answer 1

A. The staff likes their new break room.⇐N.G. would be OK if their were replaced by its (staff is singular)

B. The jury blamed their voting error on one member.⇐jury is singular so 'their' should be its*

C. The staff likes its new vacation policy.⇐CORRECT

D. The faculty members liked its new curriculum training.⇐N.G. would be OK if 'members' were deleted

 

* sentence B has another defect, in that presumably one member of the jury might not blame himself
