You'll often see pronoun and modifier issues in the same question.

For example, a pronoun/antecedent pair may be found in a modifying phrase:
The tennis player has a powerful serve, hitting the ball so hard that his opponent rarely can return it.

Also, some modifiers (i.e. relative clauses) begin with a relative pronoun, which has to agree with the modified noun:
The biographer researched Albert Einstein, who is most famous for his Theory of Relativity, for ten years before publication of the work.
("Who" modifies Einstein, as Einstein is a person, not a thing. "Which" or "that" would modify things, not people.)

I don't have an OG10 handy at the moment, so I can't answer for that particular question. We also can't reproduce OG questions online (for copyright reasons), but if you still have a question about this, you can make up a similar sentence and post it for discussion.
