between one’s eyes vs "between its eyes"
This is a sentence in an exercise on "error correction" from a textbook.
A rattlesnake has a spot between one’s eyes that is sensitive to heat.
The answer here is "one". I am wondering about the correction here. I think it should be "between its eyes". Do you agree? Thanks.
