Where is the faulty pronoun in this sentence The task force submitted their recommendation a week early?

The faulty pronoun is "their".

Here's why:

* "Task force" is singular. Even though it's a group of people, it's treated as a singular entity.

* "Their" is plural. It refers to multiple people.

To correct the sentence:

* Use "its": "The task force submitted its recommendation a week early."
