The correct answers are as follows:
10. The antecedent in the sentence is WILLIAM.

13. The antecedent here is GRANDMA HELEN.
14. The antecedent in the sentence is RAIN.
15. The antecedent in the sentence is RANDY.
16. The antecedent in the sentence is MR COOPER.
An antecedent refers to the noun or pronoun, which another pronoun is referring to in a sentence. An antecedent usually precede a  noun or pronoun it refers to in a sentence. There must be an agreement between the pronoun and its antecedent, that is, if the antecedent is singular, then the pronoun also has to be singular.
