Answer:

[2] It was common for an enslaved person to stop there on their way to the North.

Explanation:

Pronoun-antecedent agreement refers to the correspondence in number between the pronoun (which stands for a noun) and the antecedent (which is the word the pronoun stands for). As a result, a singular pronoun must agree with a singular antecedent, and a plural pronoun must agree with a plural antecedent.

In the example sentence, the pronoun <em>their </em>does not agree in number with the antecedent <em>an enslaved person</em>. The revised versions are the following:  

<em>It was common for </em><u><em>an enslaved person</em></u><em> to stop there on </em><u><em>his or her</em></u><em> way to the North.</em>

Or:

<em>It was common for </em><u><em>enslaved people</em></u><em> to stop there on </em><u><em>their </em></u><em>way to the North.</em>

Read the paragraph.
n200080 [17]
If we were to plug in the first option into the paragraph, it would sound like this...

The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, however, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.

This cannot be the correct answer because the word however is used to contradict something that has been said previously. This sentence has no reason to be contradicted.

If we were to plug in the second option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...

The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, similarly, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.

This option is also incorrect because the word 'similarly' is used to indicate a similarity between two facts or events. But the two sentences are talking about he same thing so there is nothing to indicate similarity.

If we plug in the third option into the paragraph, it would sound something like this...

The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, additionally, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.

This option can also not be the correct answer because no new factor is being introduced into the sentences.

If we plug in the first option into the paragraph, it will sound something like this...

<span>The Huntington Library, located in San Marino, California, contains a significant collection of rare books and manuscripts. A visitor of the library will, in fact, find one of the original copies of the Gutenberg Bible, as well as first-edition copies of books by William Blake.

This is the correct answer because the sentence is using this word </span><span>to emphasize the statement they are trying to make.

This means the correct answer is d )  in fact.
