Read the sentences.
Darla’s aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. She loved them both.

Which answer choice best corrects the vague pronoun in these sentences?
A. Darla’s aunt and uncle gave her a book and a baseball glove. She loved them both.
B. A book from her aunt and a baseball glove from her uncle were both lovely presents for Darla.
C. Darla’s aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. Darla loved both presents.
D. Darla’s aunt gave Darla a book, and Darla’s uncle gave Darla a baseball glove.Darla loved them both.

Knowing that a female pronoun is repeated used in the sentences, it'd make sense to be more specific as to who is referring to who considering that it gets confusing otherwise and is also considered an incorrect pronoun. In other words, specifics are important in a sentence, and D is the only one that seems to give any specifics, though I apologize if I'm incorrect.

Answer:

Hi there! Your answer here is C. Darla's aunt gave her a book, and her uncle gave her a baseball glove. Darla loved both presents.

A vague pronoun in a sentence can be confusing because it does not refer clearly to a specific person or object in the sentence. In this question, the sentences provided initially do not clarify whether "both" refers to Darla's aunt and uncle or to her presents. Answer Choice C best clarifies that Darla loves the presents she was given.
