• Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns given in a sentence.
• These are used to avoid repetition of the noun in the sentence, to express the belonging of something mentioned in the sentence.
• "She" is used instead of Kala in the passage as Kala is a female and the subject of the sentence.
• "Him" is used instead of Raju, because he is a male, and it shows second person usage, as the object of the sentence.
• "Their" is used instead of students to show third-person usage, with neutral gender and object of the sentence.
