Solution

The correct revision to the paragraph that corrects a vague pronoun is option 3. Change "she" to "Cynthia" in sentence 3. This is because the pronoun "she" could refer to either Martha or Cynthia, creating ambiguity. By changing "she" to "Cynthia", it clarifies who was surprised to see Martha out of breath.
