Nathan told Nadir that his nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition. In your own words, identify the case of the underlined pronoun as well as the antecedent to which it refers. If the reference is ambiguous or indefinite, rewrite the sentence to correct the error.

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the underlined pronoun. Thus, the complete sentence is the following:

Nathan told Nadir that his nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.

Case: nominative

Reference: ambiguous

Sentence rewritten: After seeing that Nadir was nervous, Nathan told him that nerves would impact the horse's ability to carry them through the competition.      

Explanation:

The possessive adjective his functions as nominative case because the noun phrase his nerves functions as the subject of a verb. Besides, it creates ambiguity because it is not clear whose nerves it refers to - Nathan or Nadir's. As a result, it is necessary to rewrite the sentence to clarify whose nerves affect the horse's performance.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
