Rewrite each sentence in two ways to clarify the meanings of the pronouns.

English
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago

The sentence "Beth and Melissa were both late since she had lost her watch" is ambiguous because the pronoun "she" can refer to any of the two girls.

In order to eliminate such ambiguity, we could rewrite the sentence in the following ways:

  • Beth and Melissa were both late since the former had lost her watch.
  • Beth and Melissa were both late since the latter had lost her watch.

The word "former" is used to indicate the first-mentioned of two people while the word "latter" is used to indicate the last-mentioned of two people.

Why did miller write the crucible? to show that witchcraft was indeed a real practice to show the consequences of cheating on on
Morgarella [4.7K]

The main reason for Arthur Miller to write The Witches of Salem was to make a reflection and demonstrate the damage that can be done by believing a truth without evidence.

<h3>What is the Salem witches?</h3>

The Salem Witches is a play written by Arthur Miller in 1952 and released in 1953. The main story of this play are events surrounding the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts during the year 1692.

A remarkable aspect of this play is that the author suspiciously allegories the persecution fever and McCarthyist repression of the 1950s, because in both cases fanaticism allowed people to blindly believe in something without having proof.
