Which category refers to a pronoun that refers to a specific person or thing?

• A. Noun
• B. Personal Pronoun
• C. Possessive Pronoun
• D. Demonstrative Pronoun

Answer: (B)

Personal pronouns are used to refer to specific people or things without naming them. They stand in for nouns that are already known in the context, like I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. For example, in a sentence about a neighbor, you might say, “She returned the book,” where “she” refers to that particular person. This is different from a noun, which names a thing directly; a possessive pronoun, which shows ownership (my, your, his); or a demonstrative pronoun, which points to something specific (this, that, these, those). So, the category that refers to a specific person or thing is the personal pronoun.
