Which word is a pronoun in this sentence: 'She gave him the book.'?
▶ Show Answer
Correct: C) She
'She' and 'him' are both pronouns — words used in place of nouns. The question asks for one pronoun; 'She' is the subject pronoun in this sentence.
Pronouns replace nouns to avoid repetition — without them, every sentence would repeat names over and over. Class 2 IEO tests subject pronouns (I, he, she, they), object pronouns (me, him, her, them), possessive pronouns (my, his, her, their) and reflexive pronouns (myself, herself, himself). Bronze questions identify a pronoun in a sentence. Silver questions test agreement between a pronoun and the noun it replaces. Gold questions check for the correct form in complex sentences where the same person is both subject and object.
