The phrase that should replace the vague pronoun "them" in context is "their brains," as is expressed in option D and explained below.

<h3>What is a vague pronoun?</h3>

We say a sentence has a vague pronoun when it is not clear to whom or what that pronoun refers. In sentence 4, the pronoun "them" is considered vague because we are not sure what it is about.

However, through context, we can tell "them" should be replaced by the phrase "their brains." The context reveals that "them" will be scanned by a brain imaging machine. What is scanned by such a machine? Brains.

With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer.

Read "Living Like Weasels' on page 477. / Answer: Explain how Dillard unifies her essay by connecting the ideas in the first two
Naily [24]

With the use of epistrophe and careful diction Dillard is able to show the connection of the human and weasel in the first and last two paragraphs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"It would be well, proper, and, obedient, and pure"

                                                                               - Annie Dillard

The use  of 'and' in the beginning sentence holds her emotions and excitement throughout the passage. With the use of epistrophe and careful diction Dillard is able to show the connection of the human and weasel in the first and last two paragraphs.

She replicates the structure of the first passage in the last passage. She uses metaphor in the last passages that depicts the punch line in the second sentence.

The main idea of this paragraphs is that, the structure holds the emotional connection of the essay as well as the connection between Weasel and her. Weasel is humanized in the flow of these paragraphs.
