Answer:
The sentences that contain a pronoun shift are:
4) Teenagers frequently desire additional freedom, but it is essential to demonstrate responsibility.
5) If a student intends to participate in the field trip, they need to submit a permission slip.
Explanation:
Pronoun shift represents a grammatical error where an author initially uses one type of pronoun and later switches to another within a sentence or a paragraph.
The first example begins in third person (teenagers) and abruptly transitions to second person (you), marking a pronoun shift.
In the second example, it begins with a third person singular pronoun (a student) but changes to third person plural (they), indicating a change in pronouns.
It's advisable to avoid pronoun shifts since they can confuse the reader.
