Identify vague pronoun references........ In the picture

Answer:

Explanation:

Usage - Pronoun Reference

A pronoun is a word used to stand for (or take the place of) a noun.

A pronoun should refer clearly to one, clear, unmistakable noun coming before the pronoun.  This noun is called the pronoun’s antecedent.

Unfortunately, it is very easy to create a sentence that uses a pronoun WITHOUT a clear, unmistakable noun antecedent.

Example:

The pronoun it does not have a clear noun antecedent.

As a result, the reader cannot know for sure whether Mabel sold the disk or the cabinet.  The pronoun reference is faulty here because the pronoun it has two antecedents.

Such errors, called FAULTY or VAGUE  PRONOUN REFERENCE, can confuse readers and obscure the intended meaning.

There are three major pronoun reference errors.

Error #1:  TOO MANY ANTECEDENTS

A pronoun should have only one antecedent.  That antecedent should be clear and unmistakable.

Look at this sentence:

Anyone who reads this sentence would not know which item was to be fixed.

Does it refer to the radio or the car?  The answer is unclear.

In the above example, faulty pronoun reference occurs because the pronoun it has two possible noun antecedents.

To fix the sentence, substitute a noun for the pronoun.

Here is another example of faulty pronoun reference caused by more than one noun antecedent:

The pronoun reference is unclear:  Who will get the bonus - the supervisors or the workers?  They could refer to either group.

In this example, the best way to fix the pronoun reference problem is to rephrase the sentence.

Error #2:  HIDDEN ANTECEDENTS

Faulty pronoun reference errors also occur when the pronoun's antecedent functions as an adjective rather than a noun.

In such cases, the true antecedent is "hidden" or obscured from the reader because it has been subordinated to another noun.

The reader of this sentence might think that the dish was being eaten because dish appears to be the antecedent for the pronoun it.

Obviously, people do not eat dishes.  What this writer means to say is, "We were tired of eating candy."

However, candy cannot be the antecedent for it because candy, situated in front of the noun dish, is acting like an adjective.  Only nouns can be antecedents.

Here is another example of faulty pronoun reference caused by a hidden antecedent:

Obviously, she refers to Mary since a house would NOT be able to answer a phone.

However, Mary's modifies house - Mary's is a hidden antecedent and, thus, is not clear.

Still another way to repair this error is to rephrase the sentence.

Error #3: NO ANTECEDENT AT ALL

Another kind of faulty / vague pronoun reference problem occurs when writers use a pronoun without giving the pronoun any antecedent at all.

Example:

In this example, the pronoun they has NO noun antecedent to which it can refer.

Here is another example of a pronoun without any antecedent at all.

In this example, the pronoun it has no antecedent to which it can refer.

The reader knows that Mrs. Smith is "wealthy," but it cannot refer to wealthy because wealthy is not a  noun.

There are at least two ways to repair this error.

       With a noun (wealth) in the place of the pronoun (it), no antecedent is needed.

       Now the pronoun it has a clear noun antecedent: money.

Here is another example of a pronoun without any antecedent.

It, which appears at the very beginning of the sentence, has no noun antecedent at all.  In addition, the construction It says in the paper is unnecessarily wordy.

We can repair this error by writing a more DIRECT version of "It says in the paper."

Example:

Another way  to repair the "It says in the paper" error is to rephrase this part of the sentence.

Example:

Both methods of repairing this faulty/vague pronoun error eliminate the pronoun and, thus, eliminate the need for an antecedent.

Below, another example shows how this error in pronoun reference occurs when a pronoun is used to stand for (refer to) a whole group of words INSTEAD OF one clear noun antecedent.

The word which has no single, clear antecedent.

Instead, it refers to the entire clause - "I did not attend the rally."

However, a pronoun must always refer to a single, clear, unmistakable NOUN ANTECEDENT.

We can repair this error in at least two ways.

Here is another example of faulty pronoun reference where a pronoun is asked to refer to a whole group of words instead of a clear, single noun antecedent.

The problem here is This.  Its antecedent is the entire preceding sentence.

The reader cannot be sure whether Howard is very angry because:

               1.  Meg telephoned,

               2.  Meg telephoned yesterday, or

               3.  Meg had not attended the meeting the day before.

There are at least two ways to repair this error and create a clear antecedent for this:

Read the excerpts from "opening statements from John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon First Televised Debate."

Kennedy: I think we can do better. I don't want the talents of any American to go to waste. I know that there are those who want to turn everything over to the government. I don't at all. I want the individuals to meet their responsibilities. And I want the states to meet their responsibilities. But I think there is also a national responsibility. The argument has been used against every piece of social legislation in the last twenty-five years.

Nixon: I will concede that in all the areas to which I have referred Senator Kennedy would have the federal government spend more than I would have it spend. I costed out the cost of the Democratic platform. It runs a minimum of thirteen and two-tenths billions of dollars a year more than we are presently spending to a maximum of eighteen billion dollars a year more than we're presently spending.

On what point do Kennedy and Nixon disagree?


Kennedy wants the federal government to spend more and take a more active role in solving problems than Nixon does.


Kennedy thinks state and local governments should solve the nation's problems, while Nixon thinks only the federal government can do so.


Kennedy believes only money will fix the nation's problems; Nixon thinks only hard work will do so.


Kennedy does not want to turn all of the nation's problems over to the government, while Nixon does.
