Many applicants are judged almost exclusively on their spelling. what is the antecedent?

As you may know, the antecedent of a pronoun is the noun to which a pronoun is referring in a sentence.  Thus, if we look at the sentence, “Many applicants are judged almost exclusively on their spelling,” we’ll need to first identify the pronoun, which in this case is “their.”  Because “their” is a plural pronoun, we know we are looking for a plural noun.  However, in this case things are a bit easy because there is only one noun in the sentence—“applicants.”  As such, “applicants” is the antecedent of pronoun “their.”
