Answer:

C. The guard talked so quickly that we couldn’t understand his directions.

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that replaces the common or proper noun in a sentence to avoid the repetition of the same noun. Some examples of pronouns are I, we, you, they, he, she, it, etc.

The faulty, vague, or ambiguous pronoun is the one that confuses a reader of the pronoun's antecedent or a sentence in which the reader is unable to know which noun is the pronoun referring to.

In the given statement, the vague pronoun is represented in the use of the <em>'you' </em>pronoun. The correct pronoun instead of 'you' should be 'we' to make the statement more clear.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Identify the sentence as simple or compound.
mash [69]

My question was deleted because it was "incomplete", but I'll answer again.

Simple

This sentence is simple because it contains one singular idea. It may be incorrectly identified as compound because the subject is compound (Forest rangers and volunteers). This is an easy mistake.

Hope this helps!! Good luck, mate. :)

Digiron [165]

Answer:

By reading these chapters we can conclude that Atticus is very realistic, but also compassionate and responsible.

Explanation:

In chapters 24-26 we are able to understand how Atticus acts in relation to Tom's death and how he delivers this news to Tom's family. Atticus is very responsible about how this information will be given, he does not want to appear insensitive, because death Tom's was something that also shook him. However, he does not want to give false hope and that is why he gives the news as realistically as possible, but maintains an unparalleled compassion and kindness.
