BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The task asks you to supply a single word from the text that completes the sentence, specifically identifying what the pronoun 'They' in paragraph 3 refers to. Since there are no provided answer options to evaluate, we focus on the process of determining the antecedent.

First, locate paragraph 3 in the text and find the pronoun 'They'. The correct antecedent is the noun or noun phrase that the plural pronoun 'They' would replace. Consider the surrounding sentences and any repeated or emphasized topics in paragraph 3 to trace what plural subject is being referred to.

Second, verify that the chosen antecedent is clearly introduced earlier in the passage and matches number and plurality. If the paragraph discusses a set of events, groups, or objects that were mentioned prior, those are typically the candidates for the antecedent of 'They'.

Third, ensure that substituting the word back into the sentence makes sense grammatically and semantically. The sentence should read fluently with the chosen word in place of 'They'.

In the given solution, the correct word identified for the antecedent is 'meetings'. This means paragraph 3 likely references a series of gatherings or discussions, and 'They' points to those meetings as the plural subject.

If you were given multiple choices, you would apply the same antecedent-detection strategy: test each option by substitution and see which one preserves coherence, number agreement, and referential clarity within paragraph 3. Any option that fails these checks would be rejected as incorrect.
