Regina tells to Ben (although signalling Horace) following things to make Horace feel as though he deserves a portion of the credit.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from “The Little Foxes” written by Lillian Hellman. In the above passage, Regina talks to Ben and Horace. Regina indirectly tries to convey Horace while talking to Ben that Horace had not responded to Ben’s letter due to his feeling that Ben was not offering him in adequate proportions.

However, being Horace wife and in need of his money, she made it clear to Ben the importance of Horace and his contribution. Indirectly it was Regina’s attempt at influencing Horace to pour his money in the business and making him feel that he too deserved a portion of the credit.

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.
