This document discusses pronouns and antecedents. It provides examples of sentences where the antecedent of a pronoun is unclear and needs to be clarified by rewriting the sentence. Specifically, it notes that pronouns like "he", "they", and "it" must clearly refer back to a specific noun or group of words called the antecedent. Rewriting sentences to explicitly state the antecedent improves clarity.
