Answer
A
At my favorite restaurant, they give you free drink refills.
B
Because Kavita forgot her book, she wasn’t able to complete her homework.
C
I enjoy hiking and swimming, but I rarely find time to do it.
D
I wish they would stop putting so much sugar in my favorite cereal.
E
My dogs are adorable when they beg for treats.
Explanation
In A, “they” has no clear noun telling us who gives the refills. In C, “it” could refer to hiking, swimming, or both activities, so the intended meaning is unclear. In D, “they” does not clearly identify who is putting sugar in the cereal. In B and E, the pronouns clearly refer to Kavita and the dogs, respectively.
