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 the sentence. Alberto hates tomatoes yet adores spaghetti. What is the function of the word yet in the sentence? adverb con
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Conjunction.

Explanation:

Conjunctions are those words that are used as joining words. They can be used to act as the mediator or adhesive to put two or more sentences together.

Words such as "yet" are used as conjunctions when they join words. The use of "yet" in a sentence provides a contrasting opinion/side of what had just been stated. But it can also be use as an adverb in a sentence. As adverbs, they give a negative connotation and talks of what is yet to happen or if it's true but that will turn or happen for sure in the future. But 'yet' is used  at the end of the sentence if they are to be used as an adverb.

In the sentence "Alberto hates tomatoes <em><u>yet </u></em>adores spaghetti", the 'yet' here is used as a joining word. It joins the two sets of phrases or independent clause 'Alberto hates tomatoes' and his other quality that he 'adores spaghetti'.
