The sentence that includes an unclear pronoun is:
1) Jamal and his cousin left at the same time, but she reached the park before he did.
The pronoun "she" is unclear because it is not clear whether it refers to Jamal or his cousin. To correct it, you could rephrase the sentence to specify who "she" refers to. For example: "Jamal and his cousin left at the same time, but his cousin reached the park before Jamal did."
