Explanation:

Pronouns are those words that are used in place of nouns. They help in the unnecessary repetition of the nouns in the sentence. Pronouns must always have clear antecedents.

Vague pronouns are those pronouns that are used in such a way that it is unclear which pronoun they are standing/ used for. The use of pronouns in such a manner confuses us about which noun the pronoun is supposed to be for.

The sentences that contain vague pronouns are-

"They say strange things happen during a full moon".

In this sentence, the pronoun "they" is unclear in who it represents.

"Phil visited Uncle James shortly after his vacation".

In this sentence, the pronoun "his" is vague for it is unclear who it stands for, Uncle James or Phil.

"After her accident, Julie helped Lian fix her broken-down bike".

The pronoun "her" in the sentence is vague for we do not know who it stands for, Julie or Lian.
