Which sentence has a pronoun with an unclear, missing, or confusing antecedent?

1 answer:

8 0

I believe it would be B, because there are two subjects that the speaker is referring to at the beginning of the sentence; the caterpillar and the leaf. When they use the word "it" in the second half of the sentence it is unclear whether they mean to say if "it" is the leaf or the caterpillar which they are carrying to their brother.

Answer:

They shot the six cabinet ministers at half-past six in the morning against the wall of a hospital. There were pools of water in the courtyard. There were wet dead leaves on the paving of the courtyard. It rained hard. All the shutters of the hospital were nailed shut. One of the ministers was sick with typhoid. Two soldiers carried him downstairs and out into the rain. They tried to hold him up against the wall but he sat down in a puddle of water. The other five stood very quietly against the wall. Finally, the officer told the soldiers it was no good trying to make him stand up. When they fired the first volley he was sitting down in the water with his head on his knees. I kept myself alive. the streets clean and deserted, I was walking to the station.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

He asked me if I was hungry.

He asked me what I was doing.

He asked me when he went to school.

He asked me where I spent my holidays.

He asked me what the time was then.

Explanation:

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person had told us. This retelling or exchange of information to a third party is given in the reporter form, or in the indirect speech.

The verbs and tenses in the reported speech will be changed according to the tenses in the first speech. So, supposing the initial sentence is in the simple present tense, then the reported speech will be in the simple past tense. Likewise, if the original speech is in the present perfect, then the reporting speech will be in the past perfect tense.

"Are you hungry?" He asked me if I was hungry. 

"What are you doing now?" He asked me what I was doing. 

"When does he go to school?" He asked me when he went to school. 

"Where did you spend your holidays?" He asked me where I spent my holidays. 

"What time is it now?" He asked me what the time was then.

Answer:

Option A: The sentence opens passage with a powerful and dramatic fact that arrests the reader's attention

Explanation:

Opening the passage with such a powerful description of a fact and personifying wildfires is dramatic which arrests the reader's attention leading him/her to read and know more about the facts.

Option B and D are totally incorrect as there is no mention of drones in this sentence.

Option C is also incorrect because the writer has not asked a rhetoric question from the reader. The writer has just described a fact.
