The correct answer is **brought her** (Option 2). **Comprehensive Derivation:** The correct answer is "brought her" Explanation & Key Takeaways: • When "either...or" is used in a sentence, the verb must agree with the noun or pronoun closer to it. • Here "Zoë", a singular noun, is closer, hence the verb and pronoun should agree with a singular form. • The verb "brought" correctly agrees with the past tense context, as provided by "was" in the sentence. • "Brought" is the past form of the verb "bring". • "Her" is being used as the direct object in this sentence. • In English, pronouns used as direct objects need to be in objective form. Here, the possessive pronoun "her" corresponds with either Kendra or Zoë, both of which are female (singular). Correct sentence: It was either Kendra or Zoe who brought her volleyball to the picnic. **Option Elimination:** • **Option 1 (brought their)**: Incorrect distractor. • **Option 2 (brought her)**: Correct Answer; accurate according to canonical reference. • **Option 3 (bought their)**: Incorrect distractor. • **Option 4 (bought there)**: Incorrect distractor. **Exam Trap:** Be careful of misleading distractors and subtle terminology differences.
