The sentence "Beth and Melissa were both late since she had lost her watch" is ambiguous because the pronoun "she" can refer to any of the two girls.
In order to eliminate such ambiguity, we could rewrite the sentence in the following ways:
- Beth and Melissa were both late since the former had lost her watch.
- Beth and Melissa were both late since the latter had lost her watch.
The word "former" is used to indicate the first-mentioned of two people while the word "latter" is used to indicate the last-mentioned of two people.

Read To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
Atticus explains to Scout that the town authorities
bend the law for the Ewell family because they'll
never change their ways; for instance, Mr. Ewell
can...
shoot firearms within the town limits.
burn trash in his back yard.
hunt out of season.
fish without a license.
Answer: hunt out of season.
Explanation:
Atticus explains that the town has lost any hope in the Ewell family following the rules. Bob Ewell is allowed to hunt out of season, and his kids are allowed to skip school.
Despite the Ewell family being described as constantly ignoring the rules throughout the book, Bob´s hunting is depicted as justified because it´s the only way he can feed his family.
