writingThe underlined pronoun makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.
A
they
B
the anchor
C
it
D
he
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. "The anchor" provides a specific person who is speaking.
Choice A is incorrect because "they" is a generic plural with no antecedent. Choice C is incorrect because "it" is vague. Choice D is incorrect because "he" has no antecedent.
