The second sentence: "Remove the labels from the jars, and then discard them."
Why: "them" could refer to either "the labels" or "the jars," so the antecedent is unclear.
Fixes:
- If you mean the labels: "Remove the labels from the jars, and then discard the labels."
- If you mean the jars: "Remove the labels from the jars, and then discard the jars."
