Question

which sentence should be edited for pronoun clarity? (1 point)
while cindy and patricia were walking down the hall, she noticed a sign on the teacher’s door.
the teacher told the class that she wanted their papers to be turned in by the end of the day on friday.
the librarians received the box of new books, and they immediately opened and unpacked it.
on the way to the post office with donald, gerald realized that he forgot to check his email.

Explanation:

Pronoun clarity issues occur when a pronoun could refer to multiple nouns. In the first sentence, "she" could refer to either Cindy or Patricia, making it unclear who noticed the sign. The other sentences have clear pronoun references: "she" refers to "the teacher" and "their" refers to "the class"; "they" refers to "the librarians" and "it" refers to "the box"; "he" refers to "Gerald".

Answer:

A. While Cindy and Patricia were walking down the hall, she noticed a sign on the teacher's door.
