English

Answer:

A weak or indefinite reference occurs when a pronoun <u>refers to an unknown antecedent.</u>

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:

<em>I wanted to be part of the </em><u><em>team</em></u><em>, but </em><u><em>they</em></u><em> did not let me in. </em>

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:

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

Which two things must be accomplished by the introduction if the author is using safe order
Aleks [24]
It’s a shame, then, that the second part of Pauling’s advice tends to be overlooked: “Most of (your ideas) will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.”  It’s certainly true that most ideas written on a Post-It note or submitted to an online system never get used, but the reason has more to do with a bias toward short-term payback in most innovation processes than informed filtration
