Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent? A. The paint was still wet, so I did not touch it. B. I caught a large fish and then released it back into the lake. C. I like the first song on that album, so I listen to it often. Not sure about this one O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b I think

OpenStudy (31356):

B yes!

OpenStudy (31356):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Confused.. :/ explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the reason why the answer is B is because in the sentence " I caught a large fish and then released it back into the lake. ", the pronoun that they are talking about,(large fish), is unclear when referring to the "large fish" in the sentence as "it." that's the reason why B is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hoped that helped :)

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Oh, I see :) thank you! :) This one is confusing..? Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent? A. Did you ever consider learning a second language? B. My family loves this movie because you can relate to the characters. C. I can't believe that you were also born in Portland, Maine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would go with B... it looks like it's missing the type of movie the family loves :)

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

So, sentence B needs to include what movie they love? O.o
