a) After Jeff talked to his brother about the project, <u>he </u>went home.

In sentence a, there is a pronoun reference (REF) problem. Pronouns are used to stand for or to take the place of a noun and they should clearly refer to that noun (the antecedent).

When pronoun reference is faulty, there is a pronoun reference problem just as in sentence a. In this sentence, it is not possible to know whether the pronoun refers to Jeff or to his brother.

Pronoun reference. It is not clear whether “he went home” refers to Jeff or his brother.

Replay
Remember the first time we met
You was at the mall wit yo friend
I was scared to approach ya
But then you came closer
Hopin' you would give me a chance
Who would have ever knew
That we would ever be more than friends
We're real worldwide, breakin' all the rules
She like a song played again and again
That girl, like something off a poster
That girl, is a dime they say
That girl, is a gun to my holster
She's running through my mind all day, ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod's stuck on replay
Replay-ay-ay-ay

See you been all around the globe
Not once did you leave my mind
We talk on the phone, from night 'til the morn'
Girl, you really changed my life
Doin' things I never do
I'm in the kitchen cookin' things she likes
We're real worldwide, breakin' all the rules
Someday I wanna make you my wife
That girl, like something off a poster
That girl, is a dime they say (Hey)
That girl, is a gun to my holster
She's running through my mind all day, ay
Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out, got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday

Oh, girl, I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl let's sing with me, ay

Which sentence in this excerpt from Mark Twain’s short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is an example of

Ira Lisetskai [31]

In order for books to be interesting, we need to have heroes with compelling character, "ethos". The character can be presented in two ways; Indirect, where the author describes the acts of the heroes and let us characterize him and direct, where he describes the character by himself. The expression that fits this definition the most is: <span>I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed, and had an expression of winning gentleness and simplicity upon his tranquil countenance. This expression has 2 adjectives and also describes his expression directly.</span>
