Brief Explanations

To find the antecedents (nouns replaced by pronouns), we analyze each sentence:

  1. In "Fabio walked his dog...", the pronoun "his" replaces "Fabio", so "Fabio" is the antecedent.
  2. In "Kimberly, you...", "you" replaces "Kimberly", so "Kimberly" is the antecedent.
  3. In "...the paper, it...", "it" replaces "the paper", so "the paper" is the antecedent.
  4. In "That is the pencil...", "That" (a pronoun) replaces "the pencil Darlene borrowed"? Wait, no—"That" refers to "the pencil Darlene borrowed", but the antecedent for "That" here? Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the pronoun is "That"? Wait, no, the sentence is "That is the pencil Darlene borrowed." Wait, maybe the pronoun is "That", and its antecedent is "the pencil Darlene borrowed"? No, maybe the task is to find the noun the pronoun replaces. Wait, let's re - examine:
  • Sentence 1: Pronoun "his" → antecedent "Fabio"
  • Sentence 2: Pronoun "you" → antecedent "Kimberly"
  • Sentence 3: Pronoun "it" → antecedent "the paper"
  • Sentence 4: Pronoun "That" → antecedent? Wait, maybe "the pencil Darlene borrowed" is the noun, but maybe the sentence is structured differently. Wait, maybe the pronoun is "That", and the antecedent is "the pencil Darlene borrowed"? But maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the fifth sentence: "Who is the new boy...", "Who" is a pronoun, but the antecedent? Wait, the task says "Pull the circle around the antecedents". The circles are at the bottom. Let's list the pronouns and their antecedents:
  • 1. "his" → Fabio
  • 2. "you" → Kimberly
  • 3. "it" → the paper
  • 4. "That" →? Wait, maybe "That" is a pronoun, and its antecedent is "the pencil Darlene borrowed"? No, maybe the sentence is "That is the pencil Darlene borrowed"—the pronoun "That" refers to "the pencil Darlene borrowed", but "the pencil Darlene borrowed" is a noun phrase. Alternatively, maybe the pronoun is "That", and the antecedent is "the pencil"? No, this is getting confusing. Wait, the sixth sentence: "herself" → Angie.
  • Sentence 5: "Who" is a pronoun, but the antecedent? Maybe "the new boy"? No, "Who" is asking about the new boy. Maybe the antecedent for "Who" is "the new boy"? No, "Who" is a interrogative pronoun. Maybe the task is to find the noun that the pronoun replaces. Let's go back to the first part: "The antecedent is the noun the pronoun replaces". So:
  • 1. "his" (pronoun) → "Fabio" (noun)
  • 2. "you" (pronoun) → "Kimberly" (noun)
  • 3. "it" (pronoun) → "the paper" (noun phrase, but "paper" is a noun)
  • 4. "That" (pronoun) →? Wait, the sentence is "That is the pencil Darlene borrowed." Maybe the pronoun is "That", and the antecedent is "the pencil Darlene borrowed"? But that's a noun phrase. Alternatively, maybe the pronoun is not "That" but I misread. Wait, maybe the fourth sentence's pronoun is "That", and the antecedent is "the pencil Darlene borrowed". But maybe the correct antecedents are Fabio, Kimberly, the paper, Angie, and maybe others. Wait, the circles are six in number (three in the first row, three in the second row). Let's count the pronouns:
  • Sentence 1: "his" → 1 antecedent (Fabio)
  • Sentence 2: "you" → 1 (Kimberly)
  • Sentence 3: "it" → 1 (the paper)
  • Sentence 4: "That" → 1 (maybe "the pencil" or "the pencil Darlene borrowed")
  • Sentence 5: "Who" → 1 (the new boy)
  • Sentence 6: "herself" → 1 (Angie)
  • So the antecedents are Fabio, Kimberly, the paper, (the pencil Darlene borrowed or the pencil), the new boy, Angie. But the circles are six. So we need to circle these nouns: F…

Answer:

The antecedents to circle are: Fabio (for "his" in sentence 1), Kimberly (for "you" in sentence 2), the paper (for "it" in sentence 3), (the pencil Darlene borrowed or the pencil - depending on interpretation, but likely "the pencil Darlene borrowed" or "the pencil") (for "That" in sentence 4), the new boy (for "Who" in sentence 5), Angie (for "herself" in sentence 6). If we have to mark them with the circles at the bottom, we would place the circles around these nouns.
