The correct answer is: When she removed the jacket and looked at the lining, she discovered that it had a large hole.
The correct answer is: When she removed the jacket and looked at the lining, the lining had a large hole.
To determine the correct answer, we need to make sure that the pronoun "it" in the original sentence has a clear antecedent. Antecedent refers to the noun that the pronoun is referring to.
In the original sentence, "it" is used to refer to the lining. However, in the original sentence, the antecedent for "it" is not explicitly stated, which can cause confusion.
The correct answer rephrases the sentence to make the antecedent clear. By replacing "it" with "the lining," the sentence clearly states that the lining had a large hole after the jacket was removed and it was examined.
