Sentence 2: "I know the trip and lodging will be expensive, so I am nervous about it."
Why: the pronoun "it" is vague (and mismatches number) — the antecedent is "the trip and lodging" (plural/compound), so "it" doesn't clearly or correctly refer back.
Fixes:
- "…so I am nervous about them."
- "…so I am nervous about the cost."
- "…so I am nervous about both."
