When I dropped the heavy vase onto the glass table, _________ shattered instantly.
1
writingThe underlined portion makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.
A
it
B
the table
C
a piece of it
D
the furniture
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. "The table" clarifies exactly what shattered.
Choice A is incorrect because "it" is ambiguous and could refer to the vase. Choice C is incorrect because "a piece of it" doesn't identify the main object. Choice D is incorrect because "furniture" is too broad.
