Question

Use a dictionary to define bona-fide, debut, foster, and icon. Write a sentence for each, using an object pronoun. *Remember, you must first have an antecedent to use a pronoun. I really need help! Somebody help me please?

Answer 1

See answer below:

Explanation:

The exact definitions of your 4 words are:

1. Bona-fide
   Neither specious nor counterfeit : genuine
   Made with earnest intent : sincere

2. Debut
   A first appearance

3. Foster
   Affording, receiving, or sharing nurture or parental care though not related by blood or legal ties

4. Icon
   A usually pictorial representation: image
   An object of uncritical devotion: idol

An antecedent is the thing that you are renaming with a pronoun. So when I say:
`color(green)"Margaret"` `"has a dog. The dog loves"` `color(blue)"her".`
"Margaret" is the antecedent for "her".

So let's make sentences for your 4 words. Unfortunately, it's a little impossible to write just one sentence with an antecedent for an object pronoun, so the antecedent will be in one sentence and the object pronoun in the other. I tried unsuccessfully for a long time, so that's the best I can do, sorry!

• The girl made a `color(green)"request"` to her parents for a puppy. She made `color(blue)"it"` a bona-fide attempt.

• Roger made his piano debut (`larr` this is also the antecedent) in third grade. After that, he made `color(blue)"it"` his lifelong career.

• Mr. and Mrs. Fischer loved `color(green)"Lily"`, their foster daughter. They gave `color(blue)"her"` a home and a new chance.

• Henry draws icons (`larr` this is also the antecedent) for fun. He draws `color(blue)"them"` in his office most days.

Hope this helps!
