Answer 2

The sentence c) The movie and the book are about the same two characters, and they are very different contains a pronoun with an unclear antecedent.

A pronoun is a substitution used instead of a noun. A pronoun is called an unclear antecedent when it is not clear for which noun it stands for.

In the above sentence, the pronoun 'they' is an unclear antecedent because-

• The nouns in the sentences are the movie, the book, and the two characters.
• However, the movie and the book are considered as one noun when the pronoun will be used.
• But, the pronoun 'they' could also refer to the two characters or to the movie and the book.
• Hence, it's unclear to which noun the pronoun 'they' is addressed to.

Thus, the pronoun in sentence c) will be the unclear antecedent.
