In Chapter 3 of The Scarlet Letter, what does Hester Prynne mean when she states, “It is too deeply branded. Ye cannot take it off,” with respect to the scarlet letter on her breast? Hester means that she does not want the letter removed from her breast because she is proud to wear it.
Hester means that she has already been marked with shame for life whether she wears the letter or not.
Hester means that she would rather wear the letter on her breast than obey the laws of her community.
Hester means that she doesn’t care one way or another whether she has to wear the letter.

just say it's your friend did it and you had no idea?

we have no idea what story or poem you mean? ?

explanation:

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.
