What is the best way to specify the object in the sentence: "After the vase was dry, I studied Cora as she applied the glaze with even strokes and then placed ___ next to other pieces that would be fired in the kiln?"

NO CHANGE
the vase
them
each

The correct answer is: the vase

The best way to specify the object in the sentence is to use "the vase," as it provides a clear and direct reference to what is being placed next to the other pieces. The context of the sentence indicates that the speaker is discussing Cora's actions with the vase, so referring back to it explicitly emphasizes that this specific item is being positioned beside the others meant for firing. Using "the vase" maintains clarity and helps the reader easily understand which object is being discussed, ensuring there's no ambiguity. By specifying "the vase," the sentence remains coherent and logically connects the actions described. This choice reinforces the narrative continuity and ensures that the reader knows exactly what is being placed next to the other pieces in the kiln.
