The Federalist papers is a compilation of articles written by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, as well as a few by John Jay, since each of them were advocates of the Constitution.
(A) since each of them were
(B) since they were each
(C) since all of them were
(D) each of which was
(E) because all of the men were
I think option a, b , c ,d are ambiguous as to what they are referring to when they say each of them, they were each, all of them, each of which. Because there are papers, articles and people in the sentence, so we can't be really sure about what the options are referring to. Whereas option E clearly says all of the men were. Hence, it's the answer.
Hello
garima0207,
We hope this finds you well.
To clarify, pronoun ambiguity does not apply if there is only one noun that the pronoun can
logically refer to, as is the case here; only a human individual can "be an advocate" for something; non-living things such as articles can advocate (argue in favor of) something, but they cannot take the role of the noun "advocates".
We hope this helps.
All the best!
