Answer:

Candice was nervous about getting her hair cut so short after she had worn it long for so many years.

Step-by-step explanation:

An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands. ( ante = "before") The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun.
