English Language & Usage Asked on December 29, 2020
I intend that the word ‘it’ refers to the personality in the sentence below. I would like to know if it is properly placed.
Since the innumerable mental programs drive the personality, it is mostly unconscious.
Thanks
Grammatically there is nothing to say and from the point of view of semantics no ambiguity as the sole referent for "it" cannot be anything else but "personality", provided nothing in the context interferes with this assignation. However, reading this sentence in the light of a variety of possible contexts does not make immediate that "it" stands for "personality"; an unequivocal formulation could be as follows. (I would do away with the article "the".)
