Help please!!!!!!?

Read this paragraph from the first draft of a drama review. The underlined sections may include the following kinds of errors.





The Littletown Community Players current revue, Watch It! , is an irreverent and playful look at time. The set is elegantly simple, a large clock hangs over the stage. As the show opens, the clock chimes six A.M. The cast of four engaging performers wake up and begin his or her day. This is a convenient device for the cast to sing some old standby songs about time. My favorites included “Rock Around the Clock,” “Five O’clock World,” and “Nine to Five.” The show closes with a sensational performance by Martha Ryan. The entire audience was caught up in Ryans’ stirring version of “Time After Time”.








1. A. Players’s B. Player’s C. Players’ D. Correct as is





2. A. The cast of four engaging performers wake up and begin their day.


B. Each member of the engaging cast wakes up and begin their day.


C. The cast of four, each an engaging performer, wakes up and begins his or her day.


D. Correct as is

Help please!!!!!!?
Players does not show possession. D. Correct as is.





2. A is correct. (B should be "begins their day." C is wordy, D is wordy and incorrect)
