Hi Guys,
I have newly joined this forum and the below is my very first
post.Please help me out with this.
121.The concept of the grand jury dates from the twelfth –century, when Henry II of England ordered panels of common citizens should prepare lists of who were their communities' suspected criminals.
A) should prepare lists of who were their communities' suspected criminals
B) would do the preparation of lists of their communities' suspected criminals
C) preparing lists of suspected criminals in their communities
D) the preparing of a list of suspected criminals in their communities
E) to prepare lists of suspected criminals in their communities
The OA of this question is the option E. What my doubt is that is the use of the pronoun their not ambiguous in the option E as their may refer to either criminals or citizens.So it may be criminal's community as well as citizen's community I understand that E is the best answer but my doubt is if we take E as a single option whether the use of their is ambiguous in it.
I really need some guidelines which i can follow for the SC questions that have their and it as their part. How to decide whether the use of their and it in the question is ambiguous or not? I will be grateful if any of the GMAT experts can explain this with few examples.
