Answer:

A vague pronoun reference occurs when a pronoun could refer to more than one possible antecedent. ... The pronoun she could refer to either Lisa or Kim, so the meaning of the sentence is unclear.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun used to point something out. The demonstrative pronouns are this, that, these and those.

Answer:

A pronoun is considered to be vague when it is difficult to determine what the pronoun refers to (the antecedent). Ambiguity or confusion can occur when demonstrative pronouns, such as 'this' or 'it' (which have no clear antecedents), are used to begin a sentence.
