Karunya Which sentence among the following is correct ? Each one in the group was given the certificate of merit , as they performed very well in the competition . Note that 'they' is now generally accepted as the singular non-gender pronoun, though in formal writing I suggest revising such a sentence: All members of the group were given certificates of merit , as they performed very well in the competition.
