Which sentences contain vague pronouns? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
When Mariana and Rahul studied with Lisa and Nico, it helped them.
B
Vivian met Laura at the coffee shop where she works after school.
C
Bernardo reads both fiction and nonfiction, and he likes it a lot.
D
Hiroto prepared so well for the debate that he crushed the competition.
E
After the play, Henrique told Isadora that her solo was excellent.

Explanation

A contains vague pronouns: “it” does not clearly identify what helped, and “them” could refer to Mariana and Rahul, Lisa and Nico, or both pairs. In B, “she” could mean either Vivian or Laura. In C, “it” could refer to fiction, nonfiction, or reading both kinds. D clearly uses “her” for Isadora, and E’s “he” clearly refers to Hiroto.
