<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public. <em>This </em>is not true when I am with my family.</span> The pronoun reference "this" in the sentence is used incorrectly because it used to refer to the whole sentence before it. It implies that the antecedent is "<span>My worst problem is the inability to speak clearly in public."</span> However, the readers don't know which part of that statement "is not true when I am with my family". Is the problem not true? Is the inability to speak clearly in public not true? The antecedent is vague, and we can say that (3) there's no specific antecedent.
O' Henry's choice to have Jimmy write the note to Bob <em>provides the reader with insight into Jimmy's character and illustrates how different the two men are after twenty years</em>. After this time, Jimmy has become a police officer and Bob, a famous criminal. <em>They used to be friends when they were younger</em>. But when they meet after twenty years, Jimmy realizes that his friend is a known criminal who is being searched for, and, as he used to be close to him in the past, <em>he cannot arrest him on his own</em>, so he looks for another police officer to arrest his friend.
