SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
its place
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'his standing-place' is technically accurate, but 'its place' is contextually better as the antecedent is the sun and standard English for celestial bodies is neuter. 'Place' (not 'standing-place') fits best for the sun's return trajectory. |
