Answer (2)

The sentence has a pronoun shift error from 'writers' to 'you.' The appropriate correction is to replace 'you' with 'they' to maintain consistency in point of view. This change clarifies that the subject remains in the third person. ;

The pronoun shift error in the sentence occurs when it shifts from the plural noun 'writers' to the pronoun 'you.' To correct this, replace 'you' with 'they,' maintaining a consistent third-person point of view. The corrected sentence is: 'If writers want to reach more readers, they can write a blog.'
