    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    A pronoun is a word that can be substituted for nouns in naming a person, place, or thing. It is used to avoid repetition and make sentences less repetitive and more concise. Pronouns include words like he, she, it, they, we, etc. They refer back to a noun that has already been mentioned or is understood from the context.

    • Pronoun

    • Adverb

    Correct Answer
    A. Verb
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Verb" because a verb is a word that describes an action or a state of being. It is the part of speech that typically conveys the action or occurrence in a sentence. Verbs can express physical actions (e.g., run, jump) or mental actions (e.g., think, believe), as well as states of being (e.g., is, are). Therefore, a verb is the most appropriate word to describe an action or a state of being.

    • Adverb

    Correct Answer
    A. Adjective
    Explanation
    An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It provides more information about the noun or pronoun, such as its size, color, shape, or quality. Adjectives help to give a more detailed and vivid description of the noun or pronoun in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "The red apple is juicy," the word "red" is an adjective that describes the noun "apple." It tells us the color of the apple, giving us a clearer picture of what it looks like.

    Correct Answer
    A. Adverb
    Explanation
    An adverb is a word that describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides more information about how, when, where, or to what extent the action or quality is happening. Adverbs often end in -ly, but not always. They help to modify and clarify the meaning of other words in a sentence.
