Sorry I did not know where I have to post it...
I have a general question. In this sentence do we know because it is obvious where the pronoun they refer?
My parents sold their cars because they had no money, they are pretty confused now.
The pronoun is correct because only parents and not cars can be confused or it is still wrong and its better to replace it with parents again?
For example if it was The parents went for a movie and the kids played outside , they were pretty happy. This sentence is different because both parents and kids can be happy so it it wrong.
Am i right? thank you in advance!

They are pretty confused now is an independent clause and you need to separate by from rest o the sentence by semicolon; or full stop.
It cannot be joined separated by a comma. This is for both cases. Whats the reason for confusion is confusing as selling cars cannot be reason for confusion.
Even the second example is not correct. it cannot be joined by a comma. You are right in case that they can refer to parents and kids as well.

Pronoun ambiguity is not as big a problem as you might think. Some questions will test it, but others won't (so you could end up with ambiguity in the correct option).
