The underlined portion makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.

A

she

B

they

C

the princess

D

the girl

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. "The princess" identifies the specific person the queen is thinking about.

Choice A is incorrect because "she" is ambiguous. Choice B is incorrect because "they" is plural. Choice D is incorrect because "the girl" is vague.
