Identify the antecedent for the underlined pronoun in each sentence below:

English

Answer:

Its - car

This - More and more physicians are beginning to look not just for illnesses but also for patients' habits with long-term health  implications

Its - cow

Someone - no antecedent

It - antecedent not clear

Explanation:

The antecedent of a pronoun is the word or phrase whose place the pronoun takes. In some cases, the antecedent is obvious, while in others it's either missing or not clear.

In the first and third sentences, it's simple. In the first sentence, a car's transmission is mentioned. Instead of repeating the word <em>car</em>, we will use the pronoun<em> it</em> and its possessive form <em>its</em><em>.</em> It's the same in the third sentence (cow's tail - its tail).

The second example is interesting because the antecedent of the pronoun <em>this</em> is the entire previous sentence.

In the fourth sentence, the antecedent is missing. We don't know instead of what word the pronoun <em>someone</em> is used.

In the fifth, the antecedent is not clear as the pronoun <em>it </em>could be used to refer to the word <em>rain</em>, or the word <em>mud</em>.

How does the setting of the story affect the way the narrator views the civilian?
Leya [2.2K]
Hey there! Sometimes setting can be in another country, or even world, which may effect their ethnicity. Also, time can effect a person. It changes the way they dress, eat, sleep, and live everyday life. Like for instance, say you had a man who lived in america in the 2010s era. You would assume he would be of american ethnicity or have at least a bit of civilian in them, and they would usually dress in a t-shirt and jeans, with a nice pair of shoes. Now say you had someone from Arabia in the 1900s. He would be of Arabian ethnicity, and he would more than likely be wearing a sort of robe to keep the sand off of his body. Also, place can effect the animals they interact with. Say, for instance, the Arabian man had a stead. More than likely it would be a Camel. If the american had a stead, it would more likely be a donkey, horse, or mule. Also, because of the animals they interact with being different, they would also eat different food. Say for instance, the American. More than likely, he would eat Pork, Beef, or even Bacon. But if you had someone from Ireland or Scotland they would more than likely eat Lamb Chops, or even Liver. This sometimes effects the lifespan of the characters, depending on how healthy the food is. See, setting is a lot more important in stories than people think. These are only some of the many ways setting effects the way the narrator views the civilian. Hope this helped!

Thanks!
