Question

Read the sentence.

Ross was chasing his older brother Damien, and he was yelling for him to stop.

Which correction would make this sentence more clear?

changing “Ross” to “he”
changing “he” to “Damien”
changing “him” to “them”
changing “Damien” to “him”

Answer 1

Changing “he” to “Damien”.

That makes the second clause explicit: "Ross was chasing his older brother Damien, and Damien was yelling for him to stop," removing the ambiguous "he."
