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. the new employees wanted to introduce their spouses to their managers at the holiday party, but they were running late.

Explanation:

The pronoun "they" in the sentence is vague because it could potentially refer to "the new employees" or "their spouses" or "their managers" as there are multiple noun phrases (groups) in the context that could logically be the ones running late. We need to identify all possible antecedents for the vague pronoun.

Answer:

the new employees, their spouses, their managers
