Question restatement: Write ONE WORD from the text to complete the sentences. 24. ‘they’ in paragraph 7 refers to Answer Question 12[input].

First, identify what the pronoun they refers to in the specified paragraph. In English, a pronoun like they should point back to an antecedent established earlier in the text. The task asks for a single word from the text that functions as that antecedent.

Since the provided answer (in the given material) is people, we can reason as follows:
- If paragraph 7 discusses a group or population mentioned previously, the pronoun they would refer to that same group. In many texts, a common plural antecedent for they is people, humans, or individuals depending on context.
- The instruction indicates that the correct answer is the word that matches the antecedent for they. If the text uses the plural noun people to describe the audience or subjects, then they would refer to people.
- Therefore, selecting 'people' as the antecedent is consistent with standard pronoun reference rules: they = people (the group previously introduced).

Why this reasoning rules out alternative interpretations:
- If the text had used a different plural noun (e.g., students, workers, authors) as the antecedent in paragraph 7, then they would refer to that noun instead. Since the prompt expects a single word from the text and the given answer is 'people,' we assume the paragraph introduces or references 'people' as the relevant group.
- There is no additional context provided here that would suggest a non-human antecedent (e.g., animals or objects), so the straightforward human subject interpretation remains appropriate.

In summary, the pronoun they in paragraph 7 points back to the plural noun representing the group discussed previously in the text, which is 'people.'
