<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public. <em>This </em>is not true when I am with my family.</span> The pronoun reference "this" in the sentence is used incorrectly because it used to refer to the whole sentence before it. It implies that the antecedent is "<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public."</span> However, the readers don't know which part of that statement "is not true when I am with my family". Is the problem not true? Is the inability to speak clearly in public not true? The antecedent is vague, and we can say that (3) there's no specific antecedent.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

I waited until Baba fell asleep, and then folded a blanket. I used it as a prayer rug. Bowing my head to the ground, I recited half-forgotten verses from the Koran verses the mullah had made us commit to memory in Kabul and asked for kindness from a God I wasn’t sure existed. I envied the mullah now, envied his faith and certainty.
