Arlecino [84]

Answer
b. the textual clue that refers to the pronoun
A pronoun antecedent refers to the word that comes before the pronoun. The pronoun has to agree with the noun especially in number since it is the part of speech that replaces the noun. In other words, when the pronoun is singular then that means that the antecedent must also be singular however if the pronoun is plural so do with the antecedent. In determining whether the antecedent is singular or not, it is very important to know what words between the antecedent and the pronoun to ignore.

Which of these statements is true of both journals and diaries? Question options: A:They include many points of view B:They have

Leokris [45]

Proceeding by elimination, the correct answer should be A: They include many points of view. A diary usually includes the point of view of the author only but in narrating events where other people are involved their points of view will be narrated by the author as well. Diaries certainly do not have a third person narrator and journals may or not have it depending on the type of article (news report, editorial) and the type of journalist (correspondent, interviewer, regular journalist). Diaries are not objective, they are the diary of a person and they reflect the person's point of view with a subjective bias. Journals should ideally be objective and they are supposed to but they are not always unbiased. Diaries certainly have a first person narrator and journals may or not have it depending on the type of article (news report, editorial) and the type of journalist (correspondent, interviewer, regular journalist).
