An antecedent is
a. the verb that shows the action in the sentence.
b. the noun or pronoun to which a pronoun refers.
c. an adjective that appears after the noun it modifies.
d. the noun that completes a prepositional phrase.

B. the noun or pronoun to which a pronoun refers.

The noun to which a pronoun refers is called the antecedent of the pronoun.   A pronoun is used to substitute a noun. In order for it to substitute, it must have a clear antecedent. Personal pronouns are used to substitute nouns with ownership. There are three persons point of view.1st person is when the subject is the one who is speaking (e.g. I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours). 2nd person is when the subject is the one being spoken to (you, your, yours). 3rd person is when the subject is the one spoken about (he, him, his, she, her, hers, it, its, they, their, theirs).

I'm not going to write 150 words lol, but i will you with giving you examples of how they kept the animal population from revolting. napoleon made a list of rules, and told everyone how "important they are even though he was known to break them and then have them changed by the only animal who could read on the farm. none of the animals were intelligent enough to read, so they never knew if they had been changed or not which was an advantage to napoleon. napoleon constantly reminded them that if they revolted they would have to go back to mr. jones' way of things, which in retrospect was "worse" (wasn't really worse though, he was just saying that to intimidate since he didn't wanna lose his power). one of the main reasons they revolted in the first place was food, and of course if they revolt napoleon will not share food with them.
