Question

Complete the following sentence.

_____ is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns.


A preposition


A pronoun


An adverb


An article

Answer 1

An article is a word that takes the place of one or more nouns.

Answer 2

Answer:

A "pronoun" is a word that takes the place of "one or more nouns". This can be explained with the help of an example given below:

John told Susan that John would lend Susan a book.

John told Susan that he would lend her a book.

Here, instead of repeating the word John, the word he is used and instead of repeating the word Susan, the word her is used.

So, here the pronouns "he and her" are replacing the nouns "John and Susan".
