7
writingThe underlined pronoun makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.
A
she
B
the artist
C
one
D
Elena
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. Using the specific name "Elena" eliminates the ambiguity caused by both subjects being sisters.
Choice A is incorrect because "she" could refer to either sister. Choice B is incorrect because "the artist" does not specify which sister it refers to. Choice C is incorrect because "one" is vague.
