Zorluk: OrtaPronoun Clarity and Reference

In 1935, architect Frank Lloyd Wright began designing Fallingwater, a house built directly over a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania. While Wright wanted the waterfall to be a central part of the residents' daily lives, the owner, Edgar Kaufmann, initially expected the house to face the cascades. This led to a series of intense discussions about the integration of nature and architecture.

Which option best maintains pronoun clarity and reference in the underlined portion of the passage?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. B
    Which
  3. This disagreementCevap
  4. D
    It

Cevap

The option stating 'This disagreement' is correct because it replaces the vague pronoun with a specific noun phrase that clearly identifies the subject of the sentence.
The choice 'This disagreement' is correct because it replaces the vague pronoun 'This' with a specific noun phrase, clarifying exactly what led to the discussions and establishing a clear subject for the sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the underlined pronoun and check for a clear, specific noun antecedent in the preceding sentence.
The pronoun 'This' refers vaguely to the entire situation (Wright wanting the waterfall to be central and Kaufmann wanting the house to face it) rather than a specific noun.
ACT grammar rules require pronouns to have clear, unambiguous noun antecedents.
2
Evaluate the choices to find an option that provides a clear noun or noun phrase to resolve the vague reference.
The phrase 'This disagreement' clearly and precisely identifies the situation, resolving the ambiguity.
Adding a specific noun after 'this' clarifies the subject and corrects the vague pronoun reference error.
