English

Answer:

The pronoun has <u>no stated antecedent</u>.

Explanation:

In the sentence "No one knew who brought the banana bread to the potluck dinner," the pronoun is "no one". "No one" is an indefinite pronoun, which means it does not refer to someone in particular. Indefinite pronouns, unlike other pronouns, do not have specified antecedents. For example, in a sentence such as "Claire is coming over. She's bringing wine," we can clearly find the antecedent for the pronoun "she", that is, the word to which "she" refers. It is Claire. "She" is used to substitute Claire. However, in a sentence such as "Someone ate the cookie," we have an indefinite pronoun. "Someone" does not have an antecedent, it does not refer to a particular person. Therefore, when it comes to the sentence in the question, the best way to explain it is that it <u>has no stated antecedent</u>.

In the fourteenth paragraph, Matilda’s mother’s disclosure that "I didn’t know if I was looking at a bad man or a man who loved
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Matilda recognizes her mother’s weakness.

Explanation:

Matilda's Mother's disclosure that "I didn't know if I was looking at a bad man or a man who loved me" made Matilda feel a little uneasy about being told such a thing, which she considers to be adult talk. However, it made her realize something and change her perception of her mother.

She realized that her mother is still stuck at an earlier period in her life where she suffered a disappointment from Matilda's father. Matilda realized that whatever it was that her father did is still stuck in her mother's head and she hasn't moved on from it.

The paragraph <em>Miss Havisham remains in her wedding gown for an event that has been and gone. I had an idea my mum was stuck in a similar moment. Only it had to do with an argument with my dad. Her frown gave her away. A frown that could be traced back to the original moment. I had an idea that whatever my dad had said still rang in her ears, </em>confirms that Matilda recognizes her mother's weakness of not being able to move on from what happened to her in the past.
