Answer to Question 1

FALSE
A common writing fault is the use of this to refer to an entire preceding thought. Inexact use
of this can detract from the point the writer is trying to make.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
If more than one man or more than one woman is mentioned in a sentence, place the pronoun
as near as possible to the person to whom you refer. When you use the pronoun he or she,
you must make certain that the antecedentthe noun to which the pronoun refersis clear.
