The type of vague pronoun reference used in this sentence is "hidden antecedents."
To determine the type of vague pronoun reference used in this sentence, let's analyze it. The sentence states "Nancy found a wristwatch and a pocket watch in the drawer, but it didn't work."
The pronoun "it" is the vague pronoun in question. It is referring to either the wristwatch or the pocket watch, but the sentence doesn't clearly specify which one. This type of vague pronoun reference is known as "hidden antecedents" because the antecedent (the noun or noun phrase that the pronoun refers to) is not explicitly stated.
Therefore, the correct answer is "hidden antecedents."
