I didn't understand this sentence, please clarify everyone
it is wrong what you have suggested i have checked thoroughly on website also it contains no error.Please rectify if i am wrong
I believe the solution is incorrect as "their" can be used as a singular pronoun when referring to gender neutrality. "him" is inappropriate because its not gender specific.
We can omit "almost" and the sentence would still be appropriate so that can be a solution.
Instead of changing their can we change everyone with everybody
