Multiple Choice
When pronouns are badly used, it can be difficult to tell which noun it is referring to.
Explain why the sentence below is problematic:
The girl and her sister knew she was in deep trouble.
Because the antecedent isn't clear, you don't know who is in deep trouble.
Because there are two pronouns, you don't know who is doing the action.
Because there is not a pronoun used, you repeat yourself by saying the word "sister" twice.
The writer should have named the sister in the sentence to avoid confusion.
