Explanation:

The error made in the sentence"one of the boy left their jacket in the locked room"is a very common one.people tend to focus on the plural word"boys"in the case,and use the possessive according to it.But the fact is that we are not talking about the "boys"we are  talking about the boy,one of them.Therefore the possessive pronoun should not be a plural one,but a singular one.The proper sentence would be: One of the boy left his jacket in the locker room.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
