the following question refers to “pronouns and antecedents.” if the following sentence uses the proper pronoun, mark the answer
as “true.” if the sentence does not use the proper pronoun, mark the answer as “false.” the crew member had almost been lost, but the commander rescued him. true false
I would say that it is false that the sentence uses the proper pronoun. We don't know whether the crew member is a man or a woman, which is why you cannot use <em>him </em>here. You should say - them. If we knew it was a man, then <em>him </em>would be fine.
