writingThe underlined pronoun makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.
A
she
B
the former
C
Sarah
D
a woman
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. Using the specific name "Sarah" removes any ambiguity between the two female subjects.
Choice A is incorrect because "she" could refer to either Sarah or her aunt. Choice B is incorrect because "the former" is less direct than the specific name. Choice D is incorrect because "a woman" applies to both subjects.
