A good man is hard to find
Care to clarify because you have not given me anything but that to answer your question. We are not psychics!
In the sentence "They say we will not be able to afford to own houses in a few years." there's a <u>pronoun reference</u> error. It is unclear who the pronouns<em> they </em>or <em>we </em>are referring to.
Pronouns are used to replace nouns, and it is considered to be a pronoun reference error when the reader is unable to deduce from the text the noun being replaced by the pronoun.
Answer:
The author presents the Reverend as an eyewitness to multiple examples of Scoresby's good fortune, which adds reliability to his account.
Explanation:
According to the book "Luck" by Mark Twain, the story is told of an English war hero Lord Scoresby who is a total idiot but managed to achieve legendary status by sheer luck. The Reverend was an instructor to Scoresby at military academy and tells how Scoresby somehow got through military school even though he is a complete idiot.
Therefore the author advances the plot through the use of the Reverend character by presenting Reverend as an eyewitness which adds reliability and credibility to his account.
