English

Naddika [18.5K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

'When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off.'

Explanation:

As per the question, the most appropriate revision or alternative to the given sentence would be 'When we were beginning the meeting, the fire alarm went off' as it correctly employs the use of past continuous tense in the subordinate clause and past indefinite(simple) tense in the principal clause together to elucidate the situation. In the given(original) sentence, the use of past continuous tense is inappropriate and the first option commits the same mistake. Therefore, the latter option is the <u>correct </u>one.

Which two pronouns in the paragraph have unclear antecedents?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

them: I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer.

It: It still looked pretty and new.

Explanation:

The pronoun them might refer to more than one antecedent:

"I found receipts in a few of my jeans. I folded them neatly and put them in my drawer." (The pronoun them might refer to <em>receipts</em> and <em>jeans</em>.)

The pronoun It also might refer to more than one antecedent:

"I found an old box decorated with ribbons and a pink bow. It still looked pretty and new." (The pronoun It might refer to a <em>box </em>and <em>bow.</em>)

So these two pronouns in the paragraph have unclear antecedents.
