Question

which of the following contains a vague pronoun reference? after jake beat brad in tennis, he asked for a rematch. brad asked for a rematch after jake beat him in tennis. submit

Explanation:

In the sentence "After Jake beat Brad in tennis, he asked for a rematch", the pronoun "he" is vague because it's unclear whether "he" refers to Jake or Brad. In the second sentence, "him" clearly refers to Brad (since the subject is Brad asking for a rematch), so there's no vagueness.

Answer:

After Jake beat Brad in tennis, he asked for a rematch.
