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.

frozen [14]
I would say that the answer should be "Helen's challenges with the frustration of learning to communicate".as a blind-deaf person and the excellent analogy with being shrouded in fog and not having how to determine where she was headed but love giving her the light to find her way and eventually get a degree at university.
