Question
the pronoun in bold is vague. select all of its possible antecedents.
mr. mcclure is here with his father tonight. would you like me to introduce you to him?
To determine the possible antecedents of the pronoun "him", we analyze the sentence. The sentence mentions "Mr. McClure" and "his father" (where "his" refers to Mr. McClure's father? No, "his" in "his father" refers to Mr. McClure, so "his father" is Mr. McClure's father). The pronoun "him" is vague as it could refer to Mr. McClure or his father. We check the nouns that "him" can replace. The nouns in the sentence before "him" are "Mr. McClure" and "his father" (the "his" here is possessive of Mr. McClure, so the father is a male noun). So the possible antecedents are Mr. McClure and his father (the father of Mr. McClure).
