Question:
What is the antecedent of the pronoun those?
Sentence: Those are books that need to be returned to the library
Answer:
<u><em>Books</em></u>
Pronouns are used to replace nouns with more general terms that don't describe a specific person or place. The antecedent of a pronoun is the word that the pronoun replaces.
In the case of this sentence, the pronoun <em>those </em>replaces the word <em>books</em>, therefore the antecedent of the pronoun <em>those </em>is <em>books</em>.

Explanation:
Crevecoeur in his "Letters from an American farmer" compares the ruling aristocrats, Bishops, nobles, and rich people of European countries to "promiscuous breed" because they inherited all the wealth and resources of the poor people for their own personal gains.
Similarly this practice of accumulating wealth by few powerful people is growing rapidly in America today. He might characterize Americans in our time as selfish and apathetic because most people choose to remain silent while the country which was was once known as 'land of opportunity' is becoming like aristocratic Europe.
The correct answer is C because it pauses after stating who did what.
Well it really depends.
If you are describing a 12 year old girl, with brown hair and brown eyes it could go something like this:
"The young, twelve year old girl, had long brown curls that fell to her shoulders. Her chocolate brown eyes were as dark as her hair and stood out on her pale, freckled skin. She was - in short - lovely."
If you are describing... let's say... a 16 year old boy with black hair and blue eyes it could go something like this:
"The young man turned his crystal blue eyes in my direction and I looked away quickly so as not to be caught staring. "How old are you?" He asked. "Sixteen," I replied timidly, twirling my long hair around my finger. "Me too," He replied, flicking his shoulder length black hair out of his eyes."
He uses various rhetorical means of proving his claims such as appealing to emotions. He presents the case of the King's behavior in such a way that is supposed to elicit an emotional response from the reader and motivate them to support the rebellion. Not only that but it is also masked as common sense so as to make it seem sensible.
