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.
