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

This sentence should be edited for pronoun clarity because "she" could refer to either Cindy or Patricia, making it unclear who noticed the sign. To improve clarity, you could rewrite the sentence to specify which person saw the sign.
