Question 113819 • DBN LA 8-CR

Which sentence contains a pronoun without a clear antecedent?

Answer
A
After Kara and Maddie run one lap, they will do lunges.
B
Because Troy lost his phone, he could not respond to text messages.
C
Before the lecture, they will hand out packets of information.
D
Diego and Liza prepared themselves for a difficult debate.

Explanation

In choice C, “they” has no clear antecedent because the sentence does not say who will hand out the packets. In A, “they” refers to Kara and Maddie; in B, “he” refers to Troy; and in D, “themselves” refers to Diego and Liza. Therefore, C contains a pronoun without a clear antecedent.
