In the following sentence, what is the antecedent of the pronoun she?


After she went to the market, Mrs. Wilton had to pick up her daughter at dance class.



Mrs. Wilton

daughter

market

her


Verified Answer :

Mrs. Wilton is the answer, because she refers to Mrs. Wilton

Answer:

The correct answer is "Mrs. Wilton"

Explanation:

"She" is a personal pronoun that replaces someone mentioned in the sentence, in this case "Mrs. Wilton". The personal pronoun "she" is acting as the subject of the subordinate phrase and makes reference to "Mrs. Wilton". Personal pronouns acting as subject cannot replace other pronouns.

The rest of the option are incorrect since the pronoun "she" does not replace the noun market, the noun daughter or the object pronoun "her".
