Read the following passage, paying attention to the words numbered 1-5

Gene Wilder’s passing away, the eternal Willy Wonka

Gene Wilder, (1) who established himself as one of America’s foremost comic actors with his delightfully neurotic performances in three films directed by Mel Brooks; his eccentric star turn in the family classic “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”; and (2) his winning chemistry with Richard Pryor in the box-office smash “Stir Crazy,” died early Monday morning at his home in Stamford, Conn. He was 83. With his haunted blue eyes and an empathy born of his own history of psychic distress, he aspired to touch audiences much as Charlie Chaplin had. The Chaplin film “City Lights,” he said, had “made the biggest impression on me as an actor; (3) it was funny, then sad, then both at the same time”. Mr. Wilder was an accomplished stage actor as well as a screenwriter, a novelist and the director of four movies in (4) which he starred. (He directed, he once said, “in order to protect what I wrote, which I wrote in order to act.”) But he was best known for playing roles on the big screen that might have been ripped from the pages of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. He made his movie debut in 1967 in Arthur Penn’s celebrated crime drama, “Bonnie and Clyde,” in which he was memorably hysterical as an undertaker kidnapped by the notorious Depression-era bank robbers played by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. He was even more hysterical, and even more memorable, a year later in “The Producers,” the first film by Mr. Brooks, (5) who later turned it into a Broadway hit.

Accessed on: 20 ago. 2016 As far as textual cohesion is concerned, analyze the following statements about the text above. I – The pronoun “who” (in 1) refers forward to “America’s foremost comic actors”. II – The pronoun “his” (in 2) refers back to the subject “Richard Pryor”. III – The pronoun “it” (in 3) refers back to either “Chaplin” or “actor”, resulting in ambiguity. IV – The pronoun “which” (in 4) refers back to “Mr. Wilder”. V – The pronoun “who” (in 5) can be replaced by “which”, without any problem.
