<p>1) Unlike Charles Lamb. Horace Walpole actually set out to be the historian of his age.</p>

<p>Can someone explain why this sentence is correct as written? Isn't "his" ambiguous? </p>

<p>2) In a world that the rate of technological and social change accelerates frighteningly, change itself often seems to be the only constant. </p>

<p>"In a world that" is the correct answer. But what's the alternative? "In a world in which" sounds redundant.</p>

2

<p>1) It’s correct as written because it’s correct as written. :/</p>

<p>2) “In which” is not redundant. That’s the right correction.</p>

3

<p>for number two, “where” would be fine.</p>

4

<p>^Ah, “where” sounds a lot less redundant :). </p>

<p>What about #1? Is “his” ambiguous?</p>

5

<p>^ I dont think it is ambiguous.</p>

<p>Unlike Charles Lamb, Horace…</p>

<p>His obviously refers to Horace because he is the one who set out not Charles.</p>
