B would be the best answer.

That is what I had and thought. Thank you very much.

Could you help me with one more question please?

xxmuslimxx · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer

Ok. This is the question
 Identify what is wrong with each italicized pronoun reference.

Carolyn sang higher than the other sopranos but she didn't support it properly.

placed too far from antecedent
no specific antecedent
ambiguous reference

The italicized word is it.

What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

I thought maybe it was the first choice: placed too far from antecedent because it was too far away. Wasn't sure though.

xxmuslimxx · Answer

Too far away from what? (I just want to see what you are thinking before I give you the answer; sorry.)

anonymous · Answer

Haha it's ok. I thought (but I am not 100% sure) that it would be too far away from the main antecedent making it a remote reference in which the meaning is not be immediately clear to the reader. The antecedent is the word that a pronoun replaces or refers to. I thought it would be referring to her signing later along in the sentence but isn't clear.

I like your explaining, but I am afraid to say that B is the correct answer, so you are incorrect, but good try, I could see why you'd say that.

anonymous · Answer

Dang, I was fumbling between the two. This online English explains it a little oddly. I really appreciate the help though. Thank you very much.
