Track Pronoun References Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz trains you to connect pronouns (he, she, it, they, this, those, which) to the correct antecedents across paragraph breaks and shifts in topic. You’ll also practice spotting when a pronoun refers to an idea or event, not a single noun.

Quiz format and settings

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can reread and verify evidence in the text. Choose your preferred question count before you start, and select a difficulty level—or keep it Mixed to get a balanced spread from straightforward references to tricky, multi-paragraph cases.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many wrong answers come from grabbing the nearest noun instead of the best-supported antecedent, especially after a new paragraph begins. Another frequent trap is ignoring number and gender agreement, or missing that “this/that” can point to an entire previous sentence.

Track the last clearly named person/thing before the pronoun appears
Check agreement (singular/plural, person, and logical fit)
Watch for paragraph transitions that introduce a new main subject
Treat “this/that/which” as possible references to ideas, actions, or claims
Re-scan for competing nouns in the same sentence and the one before

How difficulty is balanced

Mixed difficulty blends quick wins (clear antecedents in the same or previous sentence) with deeper items where multiple nouns compete or the reference spans several sentences. As you increase difficulty, you’ll see more distractors that are grammatically possible but not supported by context.
