Read the sentence: When the technician installed the new software on the computer, it crashed unexpectedly. Which revision best clarifies the meaning of the pronoun "it" in the sentence?

B When the technician installed the new software on the computer, the computer crashed unexpectedly.
C When the technician installed the new software, it crashed unexpectedly.
D The computer crashed unexpectedly when the technician installed the new software.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The original sentence is ambiguous because "it" could refer to either "software" or "computer." Option B explicitly states that the "computer" crashed, removing the ambiguity.
