The correct answer is : something

A pronoun antecedent i<em>s a word that comes before a pronoun to which the</em> <em>pronoun refers. </em>The word 'antecedent' itself means something that precedes something else. A pronoun is a word used to stand for or take place of a noun.

In the above sentence, there are three pronouns:<em> something, it and their.</em>

It is a subjective personal pronoun and it refers back to the word <em>fort</em> in the sentence ( it = the front would fall ).

Their is a possessive personal pronoun and it refers back to the words <em> the</em> <em>French</em> in the sentence ( their = in the hands of the French ).

Something is an indefinite pronoun and it does not have a word to refer back to in the sentence. It does not a specific antecedent.

How do you think Gary Soto's experiences working in the fields influenced his attitudes toward work?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The extremely heavy and hard work that Gary faced in the fields where he worked, made him highly value the effort and determination of people and especially his own.

Explanation:

I believe your question refers to the book "One last time" where Gary Soto presents his family's life as refugees. During his youth experiences, Gary had to work in the fields of grape plantations, together with his mother. The work was very difficult, extremely tiring and had a very low remuneration, but both Gary and his mother knew that this work was necessary and for that reason they dedicated themselves a lot and struggled to do the best they could. This influenced Gary's attitudes towards work, as he realized that determination and effort are the necessary feelings in any activity that is done, even if this is a bad and very tiring activity.
