Reference Questions
Reference questions ask what noun (called the referent) a pronoun or some other
expression refers to. The correct answer is not always the noun that is closest to the pronoun in
the passage. Incorrect choices are usually other nouns that appear in the passage. If you are
unable to decide immediately which answer is correct, substitute the four choices for the word
that is being asked about. Which one is the most logical substitute?
