The answer is D because it's unclear who the pronoun in that sentence ("his") is referring to - is it Mario or Mario's little brother that it's talking about?

Answer:

The sentence that contains a vague pronoun is <em>D: Mario gave his little brother a toy that he played with constantly.</em>

Explanation:

This sentence contains a vague pronoun because after reading it we don't understand very well if the pronoun is referring to Mario or to Mario's little brother. Like it says at the beginning of the task, a vague pronoun is one whose reference is unclear, it leaves the reader wondering to whom the pronoun refers to.

How to find your essay's target audience?
Bess [88]
Just ask yourself, who you are presenting it to. Or who are you trying to persuade. For example: if I’m taking about the environment and how we need to save it. It can go either one or two ways. You can pitch your idea to someone who already known what your talking about and you can offer a better solution OR you can inform a new audience who isn’t knowledgeable on the subject. It just depends on what you want to write about

Letter to the principle pointing out two practice among students that should be discouraged and what should be encouraged among
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

                                                                                      Universal Model School,

                                                                                      90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                                      Aba.

                                                                                      February 14, 2021.

The Principal,

Universal Model School,

Aba.

 

     Sir,

                       IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE SCHOOL

     It is with a great sense of urgency that I write this letter to you sir. I must sincerely commend your efforts towards sanitizing our school. The school have indeed taken a new shape since the inception of your administration.

    However, there are a few areas I want to draw your attention to. I have observed with dismay that many students do not come to school early. Lateness have risen to an all time high in the past few months. This is not good for the image of our school. I implore you to do all that you can to ensure punctuality among students.

  Secondly, many students no longer appear in the complete school uniform. I have noticed that quite a number of students no longer wear the school tie. This is incomplete dressing and a mark of indiscipline which should be vehemently discouraged.

  On the part of the teachers, I must commend their punctuality and regularity to classes. This is quite unlike what was obtainable before your arrival. Teachers now come to class when it is their lesson period and the level of teacher absenteeism has greatly reduced. This should be encouraged.

   I hope my observations will be considered for appropriate action.

                                                                                              Yours Faithfully,

                                                                                               Chinonso Njoku
