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>.

Answer:

From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs

The claim is "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.

Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.

Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
