o a shakespeare didn't need an extensive vocabulary
to make his written workimpressive, rather he
used simple words in interesting and engaging
ways.
ob many rappers and hip hop artists take inspiration
from shakespeare because he was able to convey
so much with so few words.
o c shakespeare wasn't the literary genius many
believe him to be as many writers today prove to
have a more advanced vocabulary.
o d it's likely that many playwrights from
shakespeare's time had a better grasp on the
english language, but their work was never
properly preserved.

what do you want me to answer?

dude, * is in your own words, not mine.

* = the answer

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.

the answer is  loss : )
