An overly broad pronoun reference occurs when the antecedent of a pronoun is one or more general ideas or concepts instead of a single noun or simple noun phrase.Examples:The train finally arrived late and jam packed, so we were late. It was a hassle.What was a hassle? The train's lateness, that it was full, or that it made you late? 'The whole situation was a hassle.' should be used instead of the pronoun'it'. You can say, 'The whole situation was a hassle. It spoiled my day.'
