To determine which antecedent agrees with the pronoun in the sentence, we need to identify the pronoun and match it with the appropriate antecedent. In this case, the pronoun used is "she", but it is missing in your question. We will assume that the missing pronoun is "she," then the sentence would be: "Martha, she is best known for the oatmeal cookies."
To find the correct antecedent, we need to look for a noun or noun phrase that refers to Martha. Let's examine the options you provided:
1. The Smiths: This option does not refer specifically to Martha, so it is not the correct antecedent.
2. Jim: This option does not refer to Martha either, so it is also incorrect.
3. Avery and Michelle: This option does not refer to Martha either, so it is the incorrect antecedent.
None of the options provided match the correct antecedent. Without more information, it is difficult to determine the correct answer.
