Pertanyaan / Questions

Determine what ‘that’ and ‘them’ refer to in Paragraph A.

Here's the answer for the questions above:

a. 'that' refers to the 'car crash', while 'them' refers to 'those children'.

b. 'them' refers to 'everything (that) I cook', while 'him' refers to 'John'.

c. 'they' refers to 'my parents' while 'it' refers to 'free time.'

Penjelasan:

The key to determine the words which the pronoun refers to are as follows:

• know the subject and object in the sentence
• find out the last subject / object mentioned before the pronoun and decide whether it is singular or plural and suits the context.

Here is how it is done.

1. Those children saw many accidents recently, among others was a horrific car crash. Seeing that  with their own eyes makes them very traumatic. ( kata 'that' adalah sebagai objek tunggal. Dari kalimat diatas, obyek tunggal terakhir yang disebut adalah 'car crash' bukan accidents karena kata tersebut adalah bentuk jamak. Kemudian kata 'them' adalah obyek jamak. Namun kita tidak bisa menggunakan 'accidents' karena tidak sesuai konteks mengingat ada kata yang merujuk tentang perasaan 'traumatic'. Jadi yang paling tepat adalah '(those) children')
2. My close friends, Annie and John, love everything that I cook. They just cannot stop eating them,  especially for him who always cleans every crumble on the plate. (kata 'them' adalah obyek jamak, dan obyek yang disebut terakhir adalah 'everything that I cook'. Sedangkan kata 'him' adalah kata ganti obyek laki-laki, maka pilihan yang tepat adalah 'John' bukan 'Annie')
3. At first, I could not believe my parents for giving me a free time this weekend. Usually, they didn’t  even give it a thought, and just directly said no. (kata ganti 'they' adalah kata ganti subyek jamak. Kata bentuk jamak yang terakhir disebut adalah 'my parents', sedangkan kata 'it' adalah obyek tunggal, maka yang paling pas dan disebut terakhir adalah 'a free time'
