The sentence that should be edited for pronoun clarity is:

"While Cindy and Patricia were walking down the hall, she noticed a sign on the teacher’s door."

In this sentence, the pronoun "she" is ambiguous because it is not clear whether it refers to Cindy or Patricia. To improve clarity, you could specify which person noticed the sign.
