The sentence 'The fans enjoyed the opportunity to meet with its basketball team before the game started' is grammatically correct.
Correct Answer:
False
Explanation:
This question centers on pronoun-antecedent agreement. The fans are a plural group, so any possessive pronoun referring to them should be plural as well. “Its” is singular, which creates a mismatch and makes the sentence feel illogical—suggesting the fans own a basketball team, which isn’t fitting. The natural, correct phrasing uses the plural possessive: “their basketball team.” The rest of the sentence—that the fans enjoyed the opportunity to meet with their basketball team before the game started—is fine. If a singular antecedent were in play, such as “The club announced its basketball team,” then “its” would be appropriate, but with the plural subject “fans,” the proper pronoun is “their.”
