In the given sentences, all pronouns refer to specific nouns. Indefinite pronouns do not refer to specific nouns and examples include 'everyone' or 'somebody'.
In the given sentences, all the pronouns refer to a specific noun; there isn't a pronoun that does not refer back to a clear, specific noun. For clarification, a pronoun is a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase. In the three sentences, 'he' refers back to 'Omar,' 'their' refers to 'picky eaters,' and 'they' refers back to 'Strawberries.'
An example of a pronoun not referring to a specific noun would be an Indefinite Pronoun, like 'everyone' or 'somebody', which does not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. For instance, in the sentence 'Somebody left their bag behind,' 'Somebody' is indefinite as it does not specifically identify who the person is.

The Once-ler built factories and structures to produce Thneeds in 'The Lorax,' a book by Dr. Seuss.
In Dr. Seuss's book "The Lorax," the Once-ler builds a large and environmentally destructive factory to manufacture a product known as Thneeds. Thneeds are versatile objects that can be used for various purposes, and the Once-ler believes there is a high demand for them. However, in the process of building the factory and producing Thneeds, he begins to harm the environment, particularly the Truffula Trees. This leads to the depletion of natural resources and the pollution of the surrounding ecosystem.
The central theme of the story revolves around the negative consequences of unchecked industrialization and environmental degradation. The Lorax, a character who speaks for the trees and the environment, tries to warn the Once-ler about the damage he is causing, but the Once-ler continues to prioritize his business interests. Ultimately, the Once-ler's factory and unsustainable practices lead to the near-extinction of the Truffula Trees and the displacement of many animals, including the unique Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish, who rely on the trees for their habitat and sustenance. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of environmental conservation and the consequences of disregarding the impact of industrialization on the natural world.
