Everyone was singing from his or her book as they entered the room.

Explanation:

The given sentence contains a 'pronoun-antecedent error' that makes it grammatically incorrect.
'Everyone' is an indefinite pronoun that is employed to denote a 'group of people' in one go and therefore, it carries a singular verb, antecedent, and object.
Thus, using the plural antecedent 'their' is incorrect and it must be replaced with 'his or her'(singular form) and books would also be converted to 'book'(singular object with singular antecedent).
