Solution

The sentence that contains an error in pronoun-antecedent agreement is: "An announcer on a Kansas City radio station made a remark about the president, and they were fired because of it." The pronoun "they" does not agree with its antecedent "an announcer" which is singular. The correct pronoun should be "he" or "she".
