Question:
Although Fredericton is a small town it has many interesting sights, and Ruth enjoys spring because it is the season when all dancers buy new outfits.
Answer:
The answer Wrong is not correct.
Explanation:
Although this sentence contains the pronoun "it" twice, the writer uses both in the same way, referring to the specific antecedents "Fredericton" (or "town") and "spring."
