Answer:

A weak or indefinite reference occurs when a pronoun refers to an unknown antecedent.

Explanation:

When we use pronouns, we need to make sure that they refer to a specific antecedent (that is, a noun mentioned before), otherwise, our ideas would be difficult to understand. Weak or indefinite reference is a type of pronoun reference problem and it occurs when a pronoun refers to an unknown antecedent. For example:

I wanted to be part of the team, but they did not let me in.

This sentence is an example of weak reference pronoun because the antecedent of the pronoun “they” is unknown. “they” actually refers to the people that are part of the team, but these people are not mentioned in the sentence and “they” does not match in number with the noun “team,” (pronouns and antecedent must match in number, and sometimes in gender) .

A correct sentence would be:

I wanted to be part of the team, but the members did not let me in.

7. How does the warning in paragraph 19 contribute to the theme of the story?

It should be noted that the warning was important to the theme as it served as a wake-up call for older people who want the youths to emulate them.

<h3>What is a theme?</h3>

A theme simply means the central idea or the main idea that's contained in a story. It's what the author wants the readers to know.

In this case, the warning that was given by the doctor was to serve as a wake-up call for older people who wants the youths to emulate them. This was important in developing the theme.

Hello, sorry this is a little late, but hopefully it can help others who visit this question!
I believe the correct answers to your question would be:
Valid Reasons: "Barring motor vehicles from the central area will help reduce air pollution and noise pollution." and "Studies predict that shopping activity in the area will increase if cars are prohibited."
Invalid Reasons: "At a dinner I attended recently, someone complained loudly about the number of cars in the shopping district." and "Many cities of our size have downtowns that are only active during workdays, not on evenings or weekends."
I can confirm these answers are 100% correct!
