Answered by maham237 @ 26/12/2020

Answer:

Vague.

Explanation:

A pronoun is a type of word that refers to a noun and can replace it, such noun that the pronoun is referring to is called the antecedent. Ideally, all pronouns should clearly refer to its antecedent to avoid confusion, however in practice sometimes we can find "vague pronouns" (they do not clearly refer to a specific antecedent).

I used to put my favorite books on those shelves, but I had to sell them the other day.

"Them" is a vague pronoun as we do not know for sure to what noun it refers to. Did the speaker had to sell their favorite books or the shelves?
