    Skill Practice 1: Understanding Reference Words KEY

    A reference word usually refers to something earlier in the sentence


    or in a previous sentence. In the example below, the subject of the
    second sentence (they) refers to the subject in the first sentence
    (Bill and Mary).

    ● Bill and Mary went to the zoo to see the monkeys. Then,
    they went home for tea.

    - The context should help you understand what the pronoun is referring to.
    - Pronouns replace nouns; adjectives come before nouns.

    Skill Practice 1: Understanding Reference Words KEY

    1. What does each underlined word refer to? Highlight the correct answer.
    A. A tree frog is less than 3 cm long, but its loud, clear voice can be heard almost 2 km away.
    The source of this sound is hard to find even when the creature is sitting nearby. Probably more
    people hear than ever see it. Only adult male frogs can sing, and the performance is an amazing
    sight to watch.
    a) loud, clear voice b) the tree frog c) the frog’s sound
    B. The long-nosed crocodile is shy and because of this, the people of West Africa sometimes
    catch it for food. Many centuries ago, there were crocodiles in England, too. We know this
    because we have found their bones buried down in the earth on which London is built.
    a) people of West Africa b) long-nosed crocodiles c) crocodiles
    C. In 1823, Mary Anning found a strange fossil on a beach in England. She dug out the bones
    and paid workers to carry them to her home. At home, she carefully started to put the skeleton
    together. When she was done, she was fascinated. The creature’s neck was more than half the
    length of its body. It was unlike any other animal she had ever seen.
    a) the creature’s neck
    b) the creature
    c) the skeleton

    2. What does each underlined word refer to? Write your answer in the provided lines.
    1. Every year, there are long races in many parts of the world. Sports fans watch them on
    television.
    them = (long) races

    2. Jason bought a leather jacket and wore it to his office. His colleagues liked it and asked where
    he got it. The next day one of them entered the office wearing a coat that looked exactly like
    his.
    one of them = one of Jason’s colleagues

    3. Like humans, baby birds learn to communicate by copying adults. From a young age, they
    learn to copy songs that their parents sing.
    they = baby birds
