PLS MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST
Explanation:
What is right, every student must bring their/its own book?
Right off the bat, a person is never correctly referred to as an “it” except in the rare case of a baby, so “it's book” is off limits grammatically speaking.
To be precise: Every student must bring his/her OR his or her book is the grammatically correct phrase. But there are both practical & latent problems with that usage, correct as it may be. His and her is longer & more cumbersome to use, especially as the choice is a common one, coming up all the time.
Furthermore, his and/or her is also always written or said in that order, implying, at least for feminists, both female & male (you see, I have inversed the usual order:), that males should “naturally” come first, an idea offensive to these people. So, we have opted for “their”, which has become acceptable, I believe, for these reasons, as proper English usage, as logically incorrect as IT may be.
NB: In other languages, what we call the Romance languages (German does not qualify here) for example, the problem doesn't come up because the third person personal adjective is determined by the sex, not of the person but of the object it describes. An example, in French:
Marie cherche son livre. Marie is looking for her book. The masculine adjective “son” (her) is proper to the masculine noun “livre” (book), not to Marie, she may be relieved to know :)
