a contingency break; inattentional blindness
This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.
Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.
The romantic period, which preceded the realist period, glorified war. The Civil War, however, resulted in the loss of many lives on both sides of the war. The horrific reality of the Civil War left no room for such an association in realist works. Realist writers such as Bierce, writing after the war, dwelled on the painful and gory aspects of war. The Civil War also led to a cynical and sometimes bleak outlook on life, which realist writing often reveals.

This question is incomplete. According to a different source, this is the complete question:
<em>Identify the pronouns in the biography by typing possessive, subjective, objective, intensive, or reflexive next to each pronoun.</em>
Ambrose Bierce was a journalist. Many of his (possessive) newspaper columns focused on corruption, fraud, and people Bierce didn't like. Bierce had a biting wit, so people did not want to find themselves (reflective) the subject of one of his (possessive) columns. However, he (subjective) also had a very serious side to his writing. In fact, Bierce was disappointed with the war reporting of his (possessive) day, so he basically said, "I will do it myself (intensive) !" At the age of 71, he (subjective) rode alongside Pancho Villa's army as he (subjective) waged revolution across Mexico.
This is the best way to identify the pronouns found in this passage. In English, a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. A noun is a word that is used to identify a thing or a set of things (living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas). Pronouns are often used in order to avoid repeating a noun used previously.
Answer:
<u>Jax</u> will pay for (his) lunch with cash today.
Explanation:
"His" is not a pronoun. It is a possessive adjective: my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their. It is called so because it precedes a noun and modifies it. Therefore, if you say "his" lunch, it is not about any lunch; it is rather a specific one, belonging to a particular person.
The antecedent of "his" is "Jax", since "his lunch" refers to "Jax's lunch", that is, Jax is the person whose lunch we are talking about.
