Question

if the pronoun in bold is vague, select all of the nouns or noun phrases it could refer to. if it is not vague, select its one clear antecedent. queen elizabeth i was imprisoned by her half - sister until her death in 1553.

Explanation:

The bold pronoun "her" in the sentence is vague as it could potentially refer to either Queen Elizabeth I or her half - sister. We need to identify all the possible noun phrases it could refer to. The noun phrases in the sentence that "her" could refer to are "Queen Elizabeth I" and "her half - sister" (where "her half - sister" is a noun phrase with "her" referring to Queen Elizabeth I, but the "her" in "until her death" is ambiguous between the two female subjects in the sentence: Queen Elizabeth I and her half - sister).

Answer:

Queen Elizabeth I, her half - sister
