GAH! Damn my impulsive rhyming! I honestly meant B, but for some weird reason, I typed A. (But if you think that's strange, you should hear me reading numbers. Something like $4.51 gets turned into $54.10. Not happy consumers, that's for sure.)

B.

Maybe this one is a little too nerdy English teacher but I'll put it up anyway. Grr to indefinite pronouns...

A. All of the regiment advanced until it reached the beach.
B. All of the regiment advanced until they reached the beach.

Actually, it's A because the group is acting as one agent. And A is the answer to yours.

The person saying this is talking to Mr. Kernucklemuffins.

2. "Who do you think you are, Mr. Kernucklemuffins?"
