The pronoun in the following is vague select all of its possible antecedent after running the 1952 Olympics Roger Bannister begin training to break the four minute mile record set bag Gondor hag he was one of the preeminent track stars of the 1940s and 1950s

Roger Bannister, Gunder Hägg

Explanation:

Antecedent is a noun that is replaced by a pronoun in order to avoid repetition. For examle:

When he saw George, he yelled at him.

Him is a pronoun that replaces George, so George is antecedent for this pronoun.

Now, one should always write pronouns in a way that they have only one clear antecedent. When this is not the case we say there is a vague antecedent.

In the first part of the text we are introduced to two track runners, Bannister and Hägg. Since the next sentence starts with the pronoun "he" it is unclear to whom it refers.

The pronoun is vague and the possible antecedents are the names of the two racers.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
